Question

Do children who often sleep in a position similar to a frog, with their legs curled up, have any health issues?

Answer

While some opinions suggest that children who sleep on their stomachs may be smarter, prone sleeping positions can also lead to obstructed breathing. Parents should closely monitor their children to ensure they are not significantly affected. Even if you try to correct your child’s sleep position, they may still revert to sleeping on their stomach. It is advisable not to let children maintain this sleeping position for extended periods and consider taking them to the hospital for a check-up to confirm if there are any issues with their nervous system.
