A. Let ur baby to sleep with any of his /her comfortable position. It may be supine, lateral, prone (on tummy) legs up, No need to worry for that positions. Don't change baby's position forcefully if Baby is sleeping comfortably with any position. Feed as per baby's demand only. Exclusive breast feed ur baby till 6months of age Keep a watch on urine output Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day.

A. Hi Mom, It is ok and normal in babies. Nothing to worry about that. If you do want to sleep your baby in that postition, just put two pillows on two sides of your baby, so that your baby will sleep in the correct position. Thank you and have a nice day.
