    Every time I chat with the mothers in the community, there are a lot of topics to discuss, and yesterday when I talked about the baby's sleeping position, I realized that in fact, the university question inside is also very big. The baby often sleeps on his stomach in the first six months after birth, and the mother may feel uncomfortable after seeing it, so she always wants to turn it over for him. In fact, there is a reason for the baby to sleep on his stomach, it may be his own sleeping habits, or it may be some reason for the body, so the mother must figure out why the baby always likes to sleep on his stomach, if it is a habit, there is no harm to the baby, no need to force correction.

    Babies may sleep on their stomachs because they inhale more smoothly. Because the baby's nostrils are relatively narrow, if there is a runny nose or a blocked nose, it will be uncomfortable, sleeping on the stomach can expand the nasopharyngeal tract and inhale more smoothly. Although many adults will also have this experience, when sleeping on the back of the nose blockage and breathing is not smooth, but as long as lying on the side or lying down will relieve the nasal congestion, the same is true for babies.

    If this is the case, the baby will generally change his posture constantly when sleeping, so in order to make the baby have a more comfortable sleep quality, it is best for the mother to choose a diaper that caters to the baby's skin and is safe to stop leakage, so as to avoid soiling the sheets and clothes when he keeps turning over.

    If the baby usually sleeps in a normal sleeping position, and recently suddenly sleeps on his stomach, it is estimated that the baby has indigestion and stomach discomfort. If the baby sleeps very steadily on his stomach, the mother does not need to worry about the baby. But if the baby is still accompanied by diarrhea, poor appetite and other discomforts recently, the mother needs to take him to the doctor to confirm what is going on.

    In fact, sleeping on the baby's stomach will also give him a sense of belonging, because when the baby is not yet born, in the mother's belly is the back to the outside, the face of the house towards the mother's body, resulting in a curled posture. After birth, because they have not yet integrated, they will also get used to lying down when they fall asleep, so that the body can touch the bed in a large area, which is more stress-relieving, and gives the baby a feeling as if she is pregnant with her mother, which is also a form of precautionary awareness.

    In addition to the above conditions, sleeping on the stomach is likely to be a natural habit of the baby, and of course the sleeping position will gradually change when the baby is older. And as long as the baby does not feel uncomfortable, there are actually many benefits of sleeping on the stomach. It is good for creating a good-looking head shape, and it can also strengthen muscles and improve lung function.

    Although it is not a big deal for the baby to sleep on his stomach, but the mother still can not be too careless, because the baby is too young to support the physical ability, sleeping on the stomach may be blocked by the pillow quilt nose, causing breathing difficulties and even ventricular breathing. Therefore, when the baby sleeps on his stomach at night, the mother must care more about the baby to prevent these risk situations.

    I have developed such a habit in normal times. Parents do not develop good sleep habits for their children, and parents do not care about their children in particular. That's why the child sleeps on his stomach.

    The benefit is that it can increase your child's sleep time and enhance your child's sleep state. The downside is that the child's heart is compressed, and it can also lead to poor blood circulation.

    Sleeping on your stomach is a very unsafe position to avoid. Sleeping on your stomach makes it easier for your baby to breathe exhaled exhaust gases, which can lead to hypercapnia and hypoxia. Sleeping on your stomach also increases the risk of overheating, as sleeping in this position can interfere with your baby's heat dissipation and raise your body temperature.

    Sleeping on your stomach may also reduce oxygen to your baby's brain. Babies sleeping on their stomachs also increase the risk of sudden neonatal death. Babies may experience nighttime sleep instability at every stage, but before the baby is 6 months old, because the sleep cycle has not yet been established, the cause of nighttime sleep instability is mostly physiological and natural conditions.

    If the sleep cycle has gradually formed after 6 months of age, then the cause of sleep instability at night may be the majority. The baby has a sense of security, and the fetus in the mother's womb is in a squatting position with the abdomen facing inward and the back facing outward, because the abdomen of the human body lacks bone protection compared to the back, and is vulnerable to external injuries and is more sensitive. Sleeping on your stomach promotes the maturation of lung function without compressing the heart and lungs.

    There is a certain sense of pressure on the abdomen, which is conducive to relieving the baby's intestinal colic, promoting the baby's clenching of small fists, relaxing the mood, conducive to the development of fingers, promoting fine movements, and the development of neck, chest and waist muscles, laying the foundation for turning over and sitting down in the future. This posture is the most natural self-protection posture, so the baby loves to sleep on his stomach, but also based on the above principles, the most vulnerable part of the body is protected, sleep more at ease, easy to fall asleep, which can reduce crying and is conducive to the development of the nervous system.

    The above is a detailed interpretation of the problem, I hope it will help you, if you have any questions, you can leave me a message in the comment area, you can comment with me, if there is something wrong, you can also interact with me more, if you like the author, you can also follow me, your like is the biggest help to me, thank you.

It's all at once, probably because of the usual breathing, the upper body is upright, but when you're lying on your stomach, especially when you're lying on the table, the inhaled air can't be discharged from the top well, and it's accumulated in the inner cavity, so when you get up, you will have hiccups, but as long as you drink some water or take a few deep breaths, it's good to sleep well, and it's best to put a pillow or something, and the neck will be bad for a long time.
