Sleeping position is always towards left
My baby was born on Oct 19 from normal delivery and from then I've noticed that my baby sleeps on the left side only. I'm worried that this is a serious problem. He turns his head from left to centre to right. But the sleeping position is always left. I tried to make him sleep in the right side but he automatically prefers the left side. I've successfully made him sleep on his right side only once. Can you please say if this is a problem.
If baby is moving both hands and both legs equally well and neck movement are also good, then this might just be a sleeping preference for the baby. It would still be advisable to visit your pediatrician or point it out at your next visit so that baby's movements may be assessed properly.
Next Steps
Place a thin roll of cloth or towel below the baby's shoulder while putting the baby to sleep to maintain proper position of the neck.
