A member asked:

I'm 15 months is it bad for me to lay on my stomach ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not sure of question: If you mean a 15 month old child- it is ok for them to lay on their stomachs. Adults can have more issues if they have bad backs, as stomach sleeping puts more strain on the back due to the hyper extension of the position.
