Patient's question:
I would like to ask, my child likes to sleep on their stomach, is there anything to pay attention to? Please give good advice to the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Usually, for small babies, some prefer to sleep on their stomachs. Generally, we believe that when a child first falls asleep, it's best to let them lie on their side. This is because after eating, if they sleep on their stomach, it may cause some pressure on their stomach, potentially affecting their digestive function. Once the child has been asleep for about half an hour, they can freely choose their sleeping position. Typically, sleeping on their stomach does not significantly restrict their respiratory system or affect their digestive and absorption functions.
