Just read the following information that could be a breakthrough for parents of young children:

Letting children sleep on their backs has certainly reduced the danger of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome(SIDS), but other simple measures such as using a fan or opening a window could reduce it by a further 72%, compared to those sleeping in a room without a fan. Just opening a window on its own, reduced SIDS by 36%.
