A. you have to see that the child is not having any regurgitation as well as not having any breathing problem and there will not be any problem of SIDS

A. No she has not any problems like indigestion.. But I think she can feel relieved by changing her position, because night time she sleeps completely on her back .. I just want to know , Is there any risk ( SIDS )to sleep on her left side? ((not on her tummy)...
