Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Lying on your stomach while sleeping is normal. It's proof that babies can turn freely. Everyone adopts the most comfortable sleeping position for themselves, and babies are no exception. Once they can roll over, if they find it comfortable to sleep on their stomach, they will naturally adopt this position. Some people worry that sleeping on their stomach will compress their chest and cause breathing difficulties. So, they turn the baby over, but soon the baby returns to its original position. Don't worry, most babies who sleep on their stomach will eventually switch back to their back after a period of time.
