Generally, babies will start to turn over after three months. Many parents may find that after their babies learn to turn over, they will no longer be willing to sleep flat on the bed as before, and sometimes they will sleep sideways. But sleeping sideways for a long time has made many parents worry about their physical health. So, how long can a baby flip over when sleeping on their side?
Babies should not sleep on their side for more than half an hour. If the baby is thin, they can sleep for thirty minutes before turning over. If the baby is fat, they should sleep for twenty minutes before turning over. So parents need to set an alarm for themselves when they go to bed at night to see if their baby has turned over and gone to sleep. After all, it is rare for babies to actively turn over after sleeping on their side.
For the good development of the baby's body and bones, it is best for parents to turn the baby over every half hour. They can directly have the baby turn over and lie flat or turn over to sleep on their side in another direction. Sometimes some babies even sleep on their stomach. If the baby only does this occasionally, parents don't have to worry. However, if they find that the baby often does this, parents need to correct the baby's sleeping posture and not let the baby sleep on their stomach for too long, which is not conducive to their physical health.
Because parents need to pay attention to their sleeping posture from time to time when babies are sleeping at night, which can affect their sleep quality over time. So in the face of this situation, it is best for parents to take turns taking care of their babies every night, and during the day, they can also take care of their babies and rest alone, so as not to make themselves too tired.
