It is normal for babies to bend their feet while sleeping, so parents don't need to worry too much. But for babies, a large part of their time is spent sleeping, so their sleeping position is also very important. So what are the correct sleeping positions for babies? What other sleeping positions should I pay attention to?
1. Many babies like to sleep on their stomach, but sleeping on their stomach can easily cause suffocation. When babies are still young, they cannot control their heads well and cannot easily turn over. If sleeping on your stomach for a long time, there is a risk of suffocation, but sleeping on your stomach also has certain benefits. Sleeping on your stomach can promote the development of your baby's muscle tone and also exercise the function of your baby's lungs. For premature infants, sleeping on their stomach is very beneficial, but ultimately this sleeping position should be chosen under parental care;
2. Lying on the side is also a preferred sleeping position for many babies, but due to the baby's tendency to vomit and overflow milk, and the fact that lying on the side allows the milk in the baby's stomach to flow into the small intestine, it is more likely to vomit milk. Therefore, it is not recommended to choose the sleeping position on the side after the baby has finished drinking milk. But lying on the side is indeed a good posture for babies, but it is important to note that it is best not to sleep in the same direction for a long time, otherwise it will affect the baby's head shape. Therefore, mothers can help the baby turn over from time to time.
