Question

When newborns are about five months old, they often sleep on their stomachs and their buttocks are arched. Is this sleep position problematic?

Answer

Hello, the baby is still too small at this age and cannot roll over on their own, so it is not recommended to let the baby sleep on their stomach. The baby should be placed on their side. If the baby can roll over, there is no need to worry. Newborns usually prefer to sleep on their stomachs.
