A:Placing babies on their back to sleep is the safest position in terms of reducing the risk of cot death.Some babies might be happier on their tummies due to tummy pain and wind discomfort.Slight pressure on the tummy area may also give some relief from colic.Help ease wind symptoms by gently massaging the abdomen,lower back and buttocks.
To persist with putting her on her back to sleep,as in time she'll adjust and get used to it.Also remember the other important factors of keeping her in a smoke-free environment,putting her feet to the foot of the cot,not letting her overheat,and finally keeping her cot in your room until she's 6 months old.All these routines will be helpful in reducing the risk of cot death.
