The reason why I like to sleep crawling

Sleeping is an important stage for the human body to rest. About 1/3 of our lives is spent sleeping, which allows people to show their most natural state and avoid interference from social attributes. Many people like to sleep on their stomachs, but many people think that sleeping on their stomachs will hinder breathing and is not conducive to the growth of children. Therefore, parents always prevent their children from sleeping on their stomachs. So, what are the reasons why children always sleep on their stomachs?

1. Perhaps it is to seek a sense of security

When the baby is in the mother's belly, he is in a curled-up position, so for the baby, this curled-up position gives him a sense of security. After the baby is born, when he cannot roll over yet, he can only sleep in the way the mother places him. But after the baby can roll over, he will find his favorite sleeping position before, for example, curled up on his stomach, so that the baby will feel more secure.

PS: If the baby sleeps on his stomach in order to seek a sense of security, he will usually like to sleep on his stomach from the beginning and sleep very soundly.

2. Turning on the air conditioner causes the baby's respiratory tract to be blocked

I believe many mothers have had this experience: when the air conditioner is turned on, the nose may be blocked when sleeping on the back, but when sleeping on the stomach, the nose will start to be unblocked. In fact, in summer, if the air conditioner is turned on in the room when the baby is sleeping, the baby will also experience this condition. Therefore, in order to make his respiratory tract more unobstructed, the baby will constantly change his posture, looking for a sleeping position that allows his nostrils to breathe.

PS: If the baby sleeps on his stomach due to airway obstruction, he will usually keep turning over or changing sleeping positions while sleeping, and finally sleep on his stomach.

3. It may also be caused by intestinal diseases

When we adults have stomach discomfort, we always habitually cover our stomachs with both hands or even press down to relieve the pain. When babies have stomach discomfort, they cannot cover their stomachs with their hands while lying down to sleep, so they can only sleep on their stomachs to squeeze their stomachs to relieve the pain.

Generally speaking, babies who sleep on their stomachs due to intestinal diseases will have more obvious changes. They usually like to sleep on their backs or sides, but only suddenly for a few days will they sleep on their stomachs frequently. If this is the case, parents should pay attention.
