Question
My child is one year and one month old, and they always sleep on their stomach during naptime. When walking, their legs are spread wider than usual, and I’m worried it might be due to sleeping on their stomach.
Answer
Sleeping on the stomach may affect a child’s growth and development. It is recommended to stop the child from sleeping on their stomach, and to have the child’s blood calcium levels checked. Encourage the child to change positions while sleeping to avoid maintaining the same sleeping posture for extended periods.
