HarikaMom of a 3 yr 9 m old girl3 years ago

A. No,my baby mostly sleeps on one side and the main reason it is not suggested to sleep on one side is baby might roll over and it will be difficult to breathe

ShivaniMom of a 3 yr 9 m old boy3 years ago

A. try making the baby sleep on both the sides and when awake then straight, that will not lead to flat head

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years ago

A. that is very common that it will cause flat head but flat head will go away with increasing age of the child so no need to worry just wait and watch and usually flat

Sonam PrasadMom of 2 children3 years ago

A. hi dear The main risk of putting a baby to sleep on their side is that they will fall onto their stomach. When a baby is too young to support their head, this may mean that their face becomes stuck against the mattress, making it hard to breathe. Most babies can fully support and lift the head by the age of 4 months.
