Sleeping on your baby's stomach is an instinctive sleeping position, as long as you pay careful attention. The benefits are as follows:
1. Stretch the body: The prone position of the baby sleeping on his stomach can make the baby be driven by the head and chest, so as to exercise the neck, chest, back and limbs and other large muscle groups, which is conducive to the training of turning over and crawling.
2. Good for digestion: sleeping on the baby's stomach is conducive to the peristalsis and digestion of the stomach to a certain extent, and when sleeping on the stomach, the stomach content is not easy to flow into the esophagus and mouth, causing vomiting; On the contrary, it moves into the small intestine, which is conducive to digestion and absorption.
3. Self-protection: The baby sleeping on his stomach is actually a manifestation of self-protection, because the baby has no sense of security for the unfamiliar environment, and the fetus is in the mother's womb with the abdomen facing inward and the back facing outward. Because the abdomen and face of the human body lack the protection of bones compared to the back, it is easy to be injured by the outside world and is more sensitive.
This pose is the most natural posture for self-preservation.

If you don't want your baby's gross motor development to lag behind, there's only one thing you need to do: get on your stomach more.
The benefits of lying on your stomach.
1. It can prevent flat head and partial rugged deviation.
2. It is conducive to relieving baby flatulence.

When lying on the stomach, the baby will try to prop himself up in order to see the mother and the surrounding environment, and this process can exercise the muscles of the head, neck, shoulders, waist and abdomen.
Studies have shown that babies who lie on their stomachs learn to crawl earlier; The more the baby lies on his stomach, the sooner he can learn to raise his head, roll over, crawl on his stomach, crawl on all fours and sit alone.
The shorter the prone and the longer the lying time, the higher the proportion of lag in gross motor development, because the lying muscles are not exercised. The delay in the development of gross motor will also directly affect the development of fine motor skills.
Therefore, tummy is very important for babies, especially for babies under half a year old.
