SIDS was recently found to be lack of some enzyme, not related to tummy down sleeping. [1] So you're probably right that babies should sleep however they do naturally which I've noticed with my kids was with legs tucked and belly down.

- vosper 4y agoThat’s not what your article or the actual researchers say. You’ve extrapolated from “possible link that needs verification” to “cause” which is potentially incredibly dangerous for babies. > While scientists continue their research, Dr. Belcastro recommends that you and caregivers for your baby faithfully follow safe sleep guidelines to minimize the risk of SIDS. These precautions are especially important from ages one to six months, when babies cannot roll themselves over: > Place your baby on his back to sleep – not on his side or stomach.
