Sleep position: It is usually recommended to put a baby on its back to sleep. However, when a baby masters rolling over both ways, he/she might feel more comfortable to sleep on the stomach. When this happens, your baby will start preferring that position making it less likely to sleep on the back again. Don't worry. With that new sleeposition, he will learn to keep his airways open to prevent suffocation.
