A member asked:
My 18 day old son is very congested and raspy in the evening .. calling pediatrician in the morning. is he ok lying on his back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is ok.: Some of us can breathe ok on our backs when very congested. A lot of us have to sleep sitting upright to be able to breathe. Babies likewise can do the same. Position your baby in the most comfortable way thru the night. Be sure your baby is not pulling muscles in between ribs, staying pink , not gasping for breath , not gagging nor choking and no labored breathing.
