Baby Sleeping Positions – What Is Safe

Babies sleep a lot, and ensuring they sleep in a safe position is very important because wrong sleeping positions in infants can sometimes lead to SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). SIDS in children is caused due to suffocation or strangulation. If you have an infant at home, it is essential that you know everything about the ideal newborn baby sleeping positions and how certain sleeping positions can cause sudden deaths in newborns. Watch this video to know more about the best sleeping position for a baby.

You may have observed infants sleeping in various positions. Some of these sleeping positions increase the risk of sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI). Sleeping on the chest/stomach is one of the most dangerous positions for infants. This video will take you through the best and worst sleeping positions for a newborn baby.

Although many people say you should keep a baby sleeping on the back I completely disagree. My teacher told me that the doctors said to keep her baby sleeping on his back and when she did everything was fine until he vomited and almost choked to death because the vomit kept going back into his mouth and up his nose, he almost died. Even though sleeping on the back keeps the airways open for breathing the same happens when sleeping on the side, just make sure the baby isn't on their stomach and supervise their sleeping constantly. Overall, sleeping on the back isn't always the right choice.

Whoever made the back position the safest should check again. Do they ever consider babies choking on the milk or vomit lying on their backs? I believe that is the most dangerous and I wouldn’t participate in doing that. My new born slept on his side for 2 month, on his third month I discovered he slept more hours 4-5hours on his tummy. I make sure there are nothing on his bed. All sheet tucked securely inside.

This is a really important video! It's crucial for parents to be aware of safe sleeping positions for their babies, as it can help to prevent incidents of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). It's great to see that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends placing babies on their backs to sleep, as this has been shown to be the safest position. It's also important to make sure that the baby's sleep environment is free of any potential hazards, such as loose bedding or stuffed animals. Thank you for sharing this important information!

My 4days old baby sleep on side only. Is it ok

[anilachika]

My baby can't sleep more than ten minutes on her back but sleep more than five hours on her stomach.

[jadajames]

My baby is just one month old I let him sleep on his side reason being most times milk is coming from his nose and its easier to come out while sleeping on his back it seems like the milk is drowning him

[susanndiritu]

[marygoretnamkuru]

My baby can't sleep on the back for more than 10minutes..but she sleeps well on her stomach for almost 3hrs

[oshee]

My baby loves to sleep on her back. But after a good feed, doesn't it increase the risk of chocking milk vomit?

[emmaonyango]

Thanks for this video, , it was very useful.Now I know what to do.

[anuradhagupta]

Can we use high soft pillow for a 3 month baby as if they are suffering from blocked nose & cough??
Please reply soon

[eveningbliss]

Ok but through research I read that if baby is old enough to roll in both directions it is safe to side sleep and or sleep on tummy. My baby is 7 months old and is learning to sleep in multiple positions no problem I have no clue how all I know is when I place her on her back she doesn't even last 10 minutes of course when she was younger this wasn't the case until recently

[saritakushwaha]
