"The 24,000 Indonesian-made cribs were recalled for putting children at risk of falling out. The cribs, imported by Munire Furniture Inc., have improper brackets that don't allow their mattresses to be fully lowered. This could allow children inside the crib to crawl over the railing and fall."
"The recall includes the company's Majestic Curved Top, Majestic Flat Top, Essex, Brighton/Sussex and Captiva cribs with various model numbers. The cribs were sold at children's specialty stores between November 2005 and November 2007. No injuries have been reported."

The current way that the heath providers are calling for is on the back. The campaign, aka "Back to Sleep" has advocated for placing babies on thier backs to prevent smothering. If your baby can safely raise and turn over on to his/her belly without assistance, then it is safe to say they can raise thier heads out of a smothering position. Again, all of this is circumstantial due to the fact that SIDS can not be proven yet. There are theories out there which suggest that some neurons in the development of the brain are the true culprit of SIDS. It is safe to go with the majority however and place your baby on it's back to sleep. Hope I didn't confuse you more!
