Final answer:

The NOT recommended method to prevent SIDS is having the baby sleep on its belly.


Step-by-step explanation:

The NOT recommended method to prevent SIDS is to have the baby sleep on its belly. This sleeping position increases the risk of SIDS because it can restrict the baby's breathing. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies be placed on their backs to sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS.
