Why do babies like sleeping on their stomachs

Patient's question:

My baby is now 1.5 years old and often likes to sleep on her stomach. She also tosses and turns a lot at night and doesn't sleep very peacefully. Is this a medical condition? However, she eats normally and is in good spirits. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

A child with such a habit should be checked for whether it is caused by gastrointestinal diseases. It is important to observe whether there are symptoms of abdominal pain or diarrhea, or whether it is caused by irregular eating habits.
Advice: Pay attention to observing the child's eating habits. If there are no symptoms mentioned above, the problem should not be serious. It is advisable to avoid excessive sweet foods and have regular deworming.
