Gently Encourage Back Sleeping: • Always place him on his back to sleep initially. • If he rolls to his side on his own, let him stay — but ensure: • No pillows, bumpers, or soft toys around him • Firm mattress and flat sleeping surface 2. Alternate Head Position During Wake Time: • During tummy time and awake periods, alternate his head direction to prevent flat spots. • Avoid prolonged time in car seats, swings, or rockers during naps. 3.
