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 isnfant'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. s

Q. Hello My second son is 1month 26days old. Last month when I visited a pediatrician, she said make baby sleep onto their stomach, baby sleeps well. We tried and my baby started sleeping well onto the stomach side. But when I went to the pediatrician to whom i regularly go, she said no to the stomach side sleeping. Since then i tried making my baby sleep straight but his sleep cycle is very less than compared to the sleep cycle of sleeping on the stomach. Can anyone please suggest which is better and ways to increase his sleep cycle?
