Patient's question:
4 months have passed, taking naps always feels uncomfortable lying flat and I often toss and turn, unable to sleep soundly. Sometimes, as soon as I sit down, I fall back asleep. Besides walking, my shoulders always lean to one side—I don’t know why. I’d appreciate any assistance: I hope the baby can walk well and sleep soundly...Doctor's answer:
Inside the mother's uterus, the baby is in a curled-up position with the abdomen facing inwards and the back facing outwards. This posture is the most natural self-protective position, so when the baby sleeps on their stomach, they feel safer, sleep more soundly, and are less easily awakened. It also helps with the development of the baby's nervous system. Sleeping on their stomach can also help the baby lift their head and chest, exercise major muscle groups such as the neck, chest, back, and limbs, and improve muscle tension. Additionally, it can prevent dry coughing and breathing difficulties caused by stomach acid refluxing into the esophagus and mouth, effectively eliminating gas.Advice: Hello, sleeping on their stomach is actually not good, but most babies go through this phase. So now you need to pay more attention to turning the baby over frequently and not letting them get used to sleeping in this position. Once the baby grows older, it will improve. The above advice is for the question "14 months old and always dislikes sleeping on their stomach for naps." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
