Safe Position To Sleep For Your Baby

What Is The Best Position or The Correct Position to Sleep For Your Baby Thus Avoid Unexpected Incident or SIDS

Do you have a baby that easily rolls both onto his(her) tummy and then onto his(her) back again. Your baby keeps rolling onto his(her) tummy in the crib and sleeping like that, with his(her) head turned to the side so his(her) face isn't in the mattress. Then, you always put him to sleep in a baby sleep positioner, but he(she) wiggles and twists until he(she) manages to roll over inside the positioner. You put him(her) on his(her) back but he(she) always rolls onto his tummy again. Is this safe?

Once your baby is able to roll independently, he(she) is able to choose which position to sleep in. It’s impossible for you to determine which sleep position your baby should sleep. You are only able to stop him(her) from sleeping the way he(she) is with stay up all night rolling him(her) to his(her) back. No way you will do this, right? And you may end up with wake up your baby, thus both of you will be sleep deprived and cranky. Some pediatrician said that if your baby has good head strength and control, it is PERFECTLY FINE to sleep on his(her) tummy.

What you need to do is watch him(her) for a period of time. If he(she) sounds like having breathing problem, then that’s a problem and what you should be worried. Although it’s safe for a baby to choose whatever a sleep position he(she) want, to prevent something bad happen, you need to be cautious. They choose, but they can’t think about safety. So that, you as a parent should be alert whatever position your baby sleep especially when your baby sleep on his(her) tummy. If your baby sleep on his(her) back, then you’re lucky.

Baby sleep positioner can be a solution but you need to be careful to determine whether your baby suit to use it. It depends on your baby size. If your baby outsize from sleep positioner size in the market, then you should not use it.
