A. its ok don't worry also note this 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. It’s normal sometimes that the child keeps changing the head position which is fine but if you’re feeling that it’s only heading towards the left side all the time in the back side is having a little bit of stability better to consult your doctor for a physical assessment will have to be sure about what the problem is and the doctor can only confirm after physically examining if there is a problem there is no problem at all
