Question
Is it normal for a child between two and three years old to start sleeping on their stomach? Have they undergone any related checks? Have they seen a doctor? What kind of help are they seeking?
Answer
Sleeping on the stomach in children may lead to spinal growth deformities and endocrine imbalances. It is recommended to undergo orthopedic examinations and guidance, and to provide a firm bed and a large area for deep sleep environments, avoiding side sleeping to alleviate fatigue or injury in the neck, shoulders, back, and waist. Additionally, strengthen blood circulation and Qi and blood nourishment with medication, as well as enhance physical training to maintain good sleep habits, normal blood circulation, and bodily functions.
