Is it good for children to sleep in a crouching position?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your baby is in the stage of physical growth and development, and their coordination skills have not yet fully developed. There are various sleeping positions, and it is common for babies to sleep on their stomachs. This sleeping position carries certain potential risks. First, it can compress the baby's internal organs and affect blood circulation. Second, it is easy for the baby's face to be covered by bedding or a pillow when sleeping on their stomach, and they may not be able to regulate themselves once asleep, leading to impaired normal breathing, oxygen deprivation, or even suffocation. Therefore, it is best to correct your baby's sleeping position as much as possible. When your baby falls asleep, turn them over promptly and allow them some time to adjust. Gradually, things will improve. Wishing your baby healthy and happy growth!
