A member asked:
If you sleep on your back when you're a baby, are you more likely to sleep on your back when you're an adult?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Quick answer NO: Not necessarily. Babies sleep on back and when they can turn over they sleep in all different positions, just like adults.

No: There is no correlation between your sleeping position as a child and your sleeping position as an adult. It depends on a number of factors including sleep apnea, pain, comfort, etc.
