The best position for a baby
to sleep is on his or her back. There is no evidence that babies might
be sick and choke when lying on their backs.
Some babies who require
special care or who have particular medical problems need to be placed
on their tummies. Your doctor, nurse or midwife will explain why. If
in doubt, talk it over with them.
For babies who have been
sleeping on their tummies or side, try them on their backs. They may
not like the change and find it difficult to settle. If your baby will
only sleep on his or her side make sure the underarm is in front of
the body to prevent him or her rolling onto the tummy.
