Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of issues, and I am also very concerned, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. Please ask what diseases can be caused by the child sleeping on their stomach all the time.Doctor's answer:
Infants should sleep on their backs. Sometimes, starting around 6 to 7 months, infants may transition from sleeping on their backs to sleeping on their stomachs. Parents might find this strange and worry if their child is okay. In fact, this actually indicates that the child at this age can roll over freely. When sleeping, infants always adopt the most comfortable position for themselves. If an infant finds sleeping on their stomach comfortable and can roll over by themselves, they will adopt this position. In fact, most animals in nature also sleep on their stomachs. Recent research has found that sleeping on their stomach has many benefits.
