Face up to wake up. Sleeping face down and letting carbon dioxide accumulate around their face was shown to be one cause of sudden infant death syndrome.

Your baby should sleep on it's back for about the first 6 months. I used a baby sleep positioner that kept my daughter from rolling over. It worked wonders until she started rolling over.

Doctors will say on the side or back....But all three of my babies slept on their stomachs...and are healthy and almost grown. Decide for yourself....However you feel most comfortable putting your child down to sleep is probably the best thing for you to do. Good luck.

The baby should definitely sleep on their back to reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

Their backs. In the last few months the experts have also warned against using the wedges that keeps baby on their sides because it is too easy for them to flip over and get their face in the cushion.

Doctors recommend back for babys of crib ages. To lessen the chance of SIDS.
Congradulations on the baby!

depending on the age of the baby. SIDS can take over if you place baby on stomach and you dont monitor.....
The back is always the safest

Back sleeping is the best sleep position for your baby and provides the best protection against SIDS. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that back sleeping is the preferred sleep position.
