What is the baby's correct sleeping position? On the correct sleeping position of babies

1, supine: supine is conducive to the development of baby's five senses, with a well-proportioned figure, which can relax muscles and will not form a sense of oppression on the whole body organs such as the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract and bladder. Parents can also directly observe the baby's face when sleeping. However, it is generally best for newborns who have just finished feeding not to take the supine position immediately, because it is easy to cause the baby to vomit milk, so that the milk will flow into the middle ear along the cheek and induce otitis media. The correct way is: after feeding, first pick up the baby, let him stand upright on your shoulder and pat his back until the baby burps, and then let him sleep on his side.

2, side lying: side lying has a left side lying and a right side lying. For the baby, lying on the right side also increases the swallowing action when sleeping, promotes the discharge of mucus in the middle ear, reduces the chance of bacterial residue and reduces the risk of infection, thus avoiding the occurrence of otitis media. The disadvantage is that this posture is not easy to maintain for a long time for babies with short arms and legs. In addition, sleeping on the same side for a long time may cause asymmetry in the shape of the head and face.

3, prone: it is conducive to the shaping of the contour of the head and face, but it is easy to block the baby's mouth and nose, causing the danger of suffocation. This sleeping position is the most direct cause of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). In addition to prone position is the least recommended, the other two sleeping positions have their own advantages and disadvantages. Choose a comfortable sleeping position for your baby and change your sleeping position frequently to avoid incorrect head shape.
