A. avoid at this age. it is imperative to prioritize safety when it comes to the sleep position of infants. pediatrician strongly advises against placing infants on their stomachs as well on sides to sleep due to the increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (sids). studies have shown that placing infants on their backs to sleep significantly reduces the likelihood of sids. this is because the back sleep position allows for better airflow and reduces the chances of the infant rebreathing their own exhaled carbon dioxide. it is also crucial to ensure that the infant's sleep environment is free of loose bedding, toys, or any other items that could pose a suffocation hazard. by following these guidelines, caregivers can help create a safe sleep environment for infants that promotes healthy development and reduces the risk of sids.

A. Sleeping on the sides it should be like that one time left side one time right side one time on the back because of the child is going to sleep on one side only then the head from that side is going to be Flat so keep changing the positions and sleeping on the side is perfectly alright
