Sleeping on the baby's stomach is a common occurrence in many families, and parents occasionally correct their sleeping posture. However, in the blink of an eye, the baby has returned to sleeping on the stomach, causing many parents to laugh and cry. So now let's take a look at what's going on with a 2-year-old baby sleeping on their stomach?
Firstly, babies can feel more secure when sleeping on their stomach because when they are still fetuses, their position in their mother's womb is similar to that of lying down. Therefore, sleeping on their stomach is actually a self-protection position and the most natural sleeping position. Therefore, sleeping on their stomach can make babies sleep more soundly and comfortably, which is beneficial to their neurological development to some extent.
Secondly, a two-year-old baby may have developed the habit of sleeping on their stomach since birth, as sleeping on their stomach has become a habitual sleeping position for babies. Therefore, this sleeping position can make babies sleep more comfortably. As long as the baby's breathing is stable and normal, and there are no other discomforts or abnormal conditions, parents don't have to worry. If the baby is tired from sleeping, they will naturally change their position.
Finally, another reason why a two-year-old baby sleeps on their stomach is to relieve their discomfort. If the baby usually sleeps in a side or supine position and suddenly turns to sleeping on their stomach, parents should pay attention to whether the baby has gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms.
