Question
What is the best way for newborns to sleep for optimal health?
Answer
Experts recommend that for infants under one year old, a combination of supine, prone, and semi-reclining sleep positions should be alternated. The same position should not be used every day. If there is no one available to watch over the baby at all times, it is advisable to primarily use the prone position; when an adult is present, the supine position should be the main choice. When a baby is sick, such as with a cold or fever, it is best to adopt a supine sleeping posture. Depending on the child’s personality and various situations, flexibly choose the most suitable deep sleep position for the baby.
