This reference is from US Center for Disease Control and was published  in
MMWR 45(RR-10);1-6 (I think that is Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Review).

Although the etiology and pathogenesis of SIDS are unknown, increased risk
for SIDS is associated with many maternal characteristics, infant
characteristics, and environmental factors (12). The most consistently
reported and potentially modifiable risk factors are lack of breast-feeding
(11,13), exposure to tobacco smoke in utero (12 15) or during infancy
(13,15),and the infant sleeping prone (12,16 18). Other factors associated
with SIDS include male sex, low maternal education, young maternal age, high
parity, the mother being unmarried, and late or no prenatal care (12). Some
researchers have suggested that SIDS has multiple etiologies and that
predisposing biochemical, anatomic, or developmental abnormalities may
increase the risk of SIDSfor infants (1).
