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 that his legs are bent down like a frog?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant,Yes, it is related. 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 other positions, and encourage more jumping exercises. Exposing them to sunlight regularly can help with calcium absorption.
The above is the advice for the question "Doctor, my baby is one month and a half old and always sleeps on their stomach. What should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
