POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. It's understandable to be concerned about your baby's sleeping position. The safest sleep position for infants is on their back. Here are some important points regarding tummy sleeping and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome):
1. SIDS Risk: Babies who sleep on their stomachs have a higher risk of SIDS, especially if they are younger than 1 year.
2. Supervised Tummy Time: While it's important for your baby to have tummy time while awake to develop her muscles, she should always be placed on her back for sleep.
3. If She Rolls Over: If your baby is able to roll over on her own, you can allow her to sleep in the position she prefers after being placed on her back. However, it’s still recommended to place her on her back to start.
4. Safe Sleep Environment: Ensure a safe sleep environment by using a firm mattress, avoiding soft bedding, and keeping the crib free of toys and pillows.
Conclusion:
For the safety of your baby, it’s best to place her on her back to sleep. If you have concerns or questions, consult your pediatrician for personalized advice.
