1. above average birth weight

Explanation:

Above average birth weight is not a risk factor for SIDS. On the contrary, low birth weight has been linked to SIDS.

hyperthermia resulting from disease infection, high environmental temperature has also been linked to SIDS.

Premature birth weight and smoking in the house has also been linked by researchers to sudden infant deaths.
