A member asked:

My son always sleeps upside down. is it any problem for his health ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I don't see any: The body will turn periodically during sleep and the position taken at sleep entry has little effect on anything. As long as the kid has adequate sleep his growth and development should be fine.I now of no medical problems related to such a sleep position.
