Is it good for a two-month-old baby to sleep on their stomach?

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 appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. Please ask, is it good for a two-month-old baby to sleep on their stomach?

Doctor's answer:

It is normal. However, parents should pay attention to changing their baby's sleeping position frequently. The correct sleeping positions for children include sleeping on their stomach, side, and back. Just like adults, a baby's sleeping position can be on their back, stomach, or side. From a medical perspective, sleeping on the side is most beneficial for a baby's physical and mental health.
If the child is affected by neonatal diseases, parents must take them to the hospital immediately for treatment and avoid using small advertisements for drugs blindly. It is necessary to use medication rationally. For parents, it is important to promptly monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
