A. avoid at this age 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, caregivers 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. It is completely normal. Please massage baby with BabyHug coconut oil for muscle strength . Also use Sebamed soap to bathe the baby. Use a good brand moisturiser like BabyHug moisturiser or MamaEarth moisturiser for the baby. Also use a good brand sunscreen lotion for the baby. Thanks and take care
