Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. May I ask if it's normal for the baby to prefer sleeping on their stomach?Doctor's answer:
The reasons why babies usually sleep on their stomachs include self-protection (this position protects the most vulnerable parts of the body, providing a sense of security when sleeping deeply, making it easier to fall asleep and reducing crying), indigestion, and so on. In your case, it may be caused by calcium deficiency and may require medication such as oral calcium gluconate. It is recommended to enhance nutrition, avoid picky eating, drink more bone broth, get more sun exposure, and consume more vitamin-rich foods.
