Question
What diseases can a child get if they always sleep on their stomach?
Answer
Infants should sleep on their backs. Sometimes, starting from around 6 to 7 months, infants may transition from a supine to a prone position, which is a normal phenomenon indicating that the child can turn over freely. Infants will sleep in the most comfortable position for them, and if the baby finds it comfortable to sleep on the stomach and can turn over by themselves, they will adopt this posture. In fact, most animals in nature also sleep on their stomachs. Recent research has found that sleeping on the stomach has many benefits.
