2024-11-23 15:24:56
My born yesterday wt 2100 grams, my mother has been a professional nurse and nursing teacher and she says prone position is best for the baby growth now. But my mother in law says this position will cause a flat head. Can someone confirm abt prone position,  my baby is comfortable too sleeping in this position.
