A. U Just make sure that your child is sleeping in different different position if your child likes to sleep on the side make your child sleep on the side but one time left side one time right side then otherwise again on the left side not on the back because if you keep making your child sleep only on one side of the head is going to become flat from that side otherwise whatever everybody else is saying that there is some problem with the neck and all that is just a myth don’t believe it
