Correct sleeping position for newborns

Sleep occupies most of the baby's life, so good care should be taken during sleep. Common care methods should be used for newborn sleep care. At the same time, the sleeping position of the newborn is also very important. Not only the internal environment can also be improved, but a good sleeping position can also be very helpful for the baby's sleep. The baby will not sleep well if he feels uncomfortable. At this time, you can't find the cause and prescribe the right medicine.

Correcting the baby's sleeping posture will help the baby sleep better. Try not to let the newborn's brain habits be affected by some things because the head bears the weight of the entire head and its growth shape is affected. So you can sleep on your side and in some other sleeping positions.

Moms should pay attention and never let their babies get used to only one certain sleeping position. Otherwise, the bone fragments in a certain part of the baby's head will inevitably be affected in their growth shape due to the long-term pressure of the entire head weight, making it easy for the head to become crooked when sleeping. Therefore, mothers should change the baby's sleeping position every 2 to 3 hours. It is best to alternate between lying flat and lying on the side to ensure the normal development of the baby's head and a beautiful head shape.

If mom and dad care about the baby's head shape, it is recommended that you try to let the baby sleep on his side. Generally speaking, it is difficult for babies to sleep on their side by themselves. You can put a pillow on the baby's back to help support their back and maintain the side sleeping position. When babies sleep on their side, their hands should be placed in front of them. In this way, even if you turn over, you will turn into a back sleeping position instead of a stomach sleeping position.

Because the stomach of a newborn baby is in a horizontal position, the cardia muscles at the entrance of the stomach are relaxed, while the pyloric muscles at the exit are tense. The baby is prone to regurgitating milk after feeding. In severe cases, the regurgitated milk can be inhaled into the trachea and suffocation may occur. Therefore, after feeding, you can let the baby lie on his right side, and after 0.5 to 1 hour, he can lie flat.

The above are the aspects that need to be paid attention to about the sleeping position of newborns. Not only the internal environment can also affect the baby's sleep. A good sleeping position can also be very helpful for the baby's sleep. Try not to let the baby get used to one sleeping position. The bone fragments in a certain part of the baby's head bear the pressure of the entire head weight for a long time, and the shape of the head growth will inevitably be affected, making the head shape easily tilted when sleeping.
