A. 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, caregidvers can help create a safe sleep environment for infants that promotes healthy development and reduces the risk of sids.

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Yes, you can give tummy time to the baby. Please massage baby stomach with BabyHug coconut oil clockwise and anti-clockwise. You can also apply hing water on baby stomach. Also do some cycling leg exercises of the baby to relieve from constipation and gas. Please make the baby burp after every feed. Mother should chew saunf and ajwain after every meal. Thanks and take care
