You can tell if your baby is smart by looking at his sleeping position.

We all know that many babies curl up their bodies when they are in their mother's womb. They seem to be seeking protection for themselves. Even after they are actually born, they may get used to that curled up sleeping position. But generally mothers let their babies sleep on their side or flat, because this helps the baby's normal growth and development. Some people say that you can tell whether a baby is smart or not by looking at his sleeping position. Is this true?

The latest research shows that whether a person is smart or not can be determined by looking at his or her sleeping position when he or she is a child. According to a report in the journal Pediatrics, leading right brain researchers conducted a sleeping position study on 350 healthy babies and found that babies who sleep on their stomachs develop intelligence faster, but babies who sleep lying down can slowly catch up with babies who sleep on their stomachs. However, sleeping on your stomach can easily lead to sudden suffocation, while sleeping lying down is safe.

So, how should babies sleep so that they will be smart, healthy and not suddenly suffocate? Leading the right brain suggests that it is best to let babies sleep lying down at night. When taking a nap during the day or being taken care of by an adult, adjust the sleeping position to sleeping on your stomach. It is best to maintain appropriate temperature, humidity and light in the baby's bedroom so that the baby can sleep soundly and sweetly.

The benefits of sleeping on your stomach: The fetus is in a curled position with its abdomen facing inward and its back facing outward in the mother's womb. This position is the most natural self-protection position, so the baby feels more secure when sleeping on his stomach, is more likely to fall asleep, and is not easily awakened, which is beneficial to the development of the baby's nervous system. Sleeping on the stomach can also make the baby raise his head and chest, exercise the large muscle groups such as the neck, chest, back and limbs, and promote the development of the baby's muscle tension. Sleeping on your stomach can also prevent vomiting and suffocation caused by food reflux into the esophagus and mouth, and eliminate bloating.
