Should babies sleep on their back?

Beta, hamare zamane mein toh log पेट के बल sulaate the, kehte the gas nahi banegi. Par ab doctors bolte hain ki bachche ko hamesha peeth ke bal hi sulaana chahiye. Yeh SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) ka khatra kam karta hai. Maine apni poti ko bhi hamesha peeth ke bal hi sulaya hai, uski maa bhi wahi karti hai. Suno doctors ki advice.

I'm not a mom yet, but I've heard this a lot. So, it's really important for babies to sleep on their back, not on their tummy or side, to prevent something called SIDS, right? But what if the baby rolls over on their own after you put them on their back? Should we keep turning them back?

My mother-in-law used to say to put baby on tummy for good digestion, but my pediatrician clearly said to always place the baby on their back to sleep. This is the safest position to prevent SIDS. I always follow the doctor's advice on these things. It's hard to go against family sometimes, but baby's safety comes first.

Yes, without a doubt, babies should always be placed on their back to sleep until they are at least one year old. This is the number one recommendation for reducing SIDS risk. My little one was a tummy sleeper in the womb, but we consistently put her on her back from day one. Use a firm mattress, no loose bedding, and keep the crib clear. It works!

Yes, absolutely! All doctors and pediatricians strongly recommend placing babies on their backs for sleep, both for naps and at night. This significantly reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Once they can roll over on their own, you don't need to keep repositioning them, but always start them on their back. It's a simple, crucial safety tip.
