Babies generally sleep in a supine or side-lying position, but sometimes, they become prone. Some mothers may say that the baby may not sleep well on their own, there is no big problem, he likes to sleep how to sleep. Small babies may have their own habit of a sleeping position, but if a period of time suddenly change, it is likely that the baby is not comfortable, using a prone sleeping position to feel comfortable, the body instinctively adjusted to prone.
