A. hello always make the baby sleep with head up and not on back but when the baby is able to do that own then it becomes fine and not to worry.

A. Hello dear parent! As long as your baby is sleeping well and not showing any discomfort symptoms then nothing to worry. Let your child sleep in desired comfortable position. Maintain a good personal hygiene for your baby. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration.
