At six-month age it is possible to sleep on a stomach. The pose allows to solve a problem with gripes, positively affects a backbone and joints. Parents have to follow several rules to make a dream of the baby safe.
Several last decades in the press the subject about a syndrome of sudden infantile death is brought up. Some scientists believe that more often it arises at children who sleep in an embryo pose. The frightened young parents always have a question – whether the baby can sleep on a stomach. However the question of a syndrome is relevant only to three-months age. Prerequisites of emergence of a problem still are completely not revealed.
Advantage of a dream on a stomach
By six months children already independently learn to be engaged in a dream that pose in which they were during pre-natal life. Most of children calm down, filling up on a stomach. Such pose allows to eliminate prolonged gripes as under pressure and as a result of influence warmly gases without any problem come out intestines.
The advantage is connected also with additional factors:
- During sleep the baby raises a bottom, parts legs in the parties that is excellent prevention of a dysplasia.
- Handles of the kid are on a matrasika, he shudders less often therefore the dream becomes stronger.
- The risk of deformation of bones of a skull decreases, but at such pose all the same it is necessary to watch that the head looked in different directions.
- The head is in such pose slightly below than a trunk therefore blood flows to a brain better, bringing it oxygen.
Opinion of doctors
Newborn children can sleep on a stomach only under supervision of parents as the risk remains to choke with own emetic masses. Floating around the Internet it is possible to meet opinion that at a pose of an embryo there is a squeezing of a thorax. However by scientists it was repeatedly proved that the pose in itself does not bear danger to the cardiovascular system of the kid.
It is impossible to sleep on a stomach if the baby sleeps on a pillow. In the first year of life it is not necessary at all. In situation on a stomach the kid can be absorbed in it and choke. In 6 months not all children can turn the head in a dream if something prevents breath.
Matrasik has to be tough. On the one hand, it positively affects the child's backbone, with another – allows to avoid danger, as with a pillow. One more factor – a possibility of maintenance of a certain air temperature indoors. If to the room chilly and hot, slime in a nose dries, turns into crusts. They prevent free breath that can lead to an uneasy dream, small delays of breath.
