How to correct a baby sleeping on their stomach1

  1. Massage before bedtime. Babies like to sleep on their stomach, which may cause them to eat difficult to digest food throughout the day, leading to discomfort in the stomach. Therefore, mothers should give babies a moderate amount of lower abdominal massage, which will relieve a lot of pain and help them fall asleep quickly and steadily.

  2. Sleep next to the baby. The reason why many babies sleep on their stomach is due to a lack of security. When sleeping close to their skin, babies will find a sense of security in their mothers, and they will choose to be closer to their mothers, such as lying on their side.

  3. Place the baby between two adults. Although this method is relatively simple, it is a very effective approach. When a baby is between two adults, their range of motion will decrease. If the baby sleeps on their stomach, the mother will feel it. Correct the baby's sleeping position in a timely manner. Because the baby has a smaller range of motion, they will maintain the sleeping position chosen by the mother.

  4. Use a sleeping bag to correct. During the process of using a sleeping bag, babies often maintain a flat position. It is not easy to turn over and try to sleep on their stomach. Using a sleeping bag to correct sleeping on their stomach is quite effective.
