Patient's question:
Doctor, the baby is one month and a half old. He always sleeps on his stomach for naps. He walks with his legs spread wide now. Is it because of sleeping on his stomach? Because when he sleeps on his stomach, his legs down, like a frog.Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, yes, it is not recommended to sleep on your stomach anymore as it interferes with growth and development. Get a blood calcium test done. In addition to blood vitamin D, it is advisable not to let the child sleep on their stomach all the time. Try to have them sleep on their back as much as possible, avoid sleeping in different positions, and encourage them to move around more. Exposing them to sunlight regularly can help with calcium absorption. This is the advice for the question "Doctor, my one-month-old baby always sleeps on their stomach, what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
