Correct Sleeping Position

What is the best sleeping position for my baby

Initially, doctors used to recommend making babies sleep on their tummies to reduce the risk of their choking on spit. Some recent studies have shown that there is an increased risk of cot death or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), when babies sleep on their tummies. Thus, doctors now recommend that babies be made to sleep on their backs or sides. Once your baby can turn over on her own, this point is moot because she will settle down in whatever position is most comfortable for her.
