Finally!

I get him to sleep on his tummy at 2 months and 3 days old! PHEW!

He is someone that does not like to sleep on his tummy, why? I am not so sure, maybe because few days after he discharged from the hospital, he had to be admitted again and forced to sleep on his tummy due to jaundice..and he had to spent 2 nights sleeping on his tummy..

Many asked me to put him to sleep on his tummy after I complained that he always startles but my answer is always “cannot, he don’t want!” and I am so relieved that today, he finally sleep on his tummy after so many times of trial on the bed itself and my tummy..

and this is how he look like now! I guess he started to like this way to sleep.

and yes, he is sound asleep now! STILL! YAHOO!

Good work, now the back of his head will not get too flat sleeping this way. You might need to watch out that he does not belch out milk after a feeding as the stomach is in a horizontal position and the capacity of the stomach is small, its cardiac sphincter was flabby to prevent the milk from coming out of his mouth at times. This sleeping position is also a way that prevents milk from going into his lungs as I was told. He is looking cute also

Hi…Just for your information…Many babies in overseas (UK, USA etc) used to put their babies to sleep on their tummy and Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) was high. SO, it was recommended to put your baby to sleep on his/her back!!!!

ya. I know that..but I normally will monitor him when he sleep on the tummy..
many people swear that babies sleep on the tummy are much more better as they don’t startles easily..
pros and cons i guess.but then again, he also refused to sleep on the tummy..
thanks for sharing
