Help with 5 mo son sleeping position
Our 5 months old son is sleeping only on his tummy through the night and even during the day time. He is not sleeping if we put him on his back and rolls over and sleeps on his tummy. Our family members say it's dangerous. Can you let me know if he can let him sleep on his tummy? I am looking forward to your advice at the earliest. Pls help.
