Since birth, our baby is usually laid facedown to sleep. Today as I laid her so she could rest after coming from Church, she slept off, facing up. Is it RIGHT to allow babies sleep facing up?

its ok to lay down infants facing up but they sleep better when they are faced down.

uboma: its ok to lay down infants facing up but they sleep better when they are faced down.

congrats on ur new baby girl. May she bring joy and blessing to her parents and may God bless u and d moda with the wisdom and resources to cater to her needs in JN, Amen

Its alright for babies to sleep facing up but they sleep better and for longer stretches when laid to sleep face down on their belly. But you have to always ensure that nothing is covering the babys nose. And always ensure that the babys face is not directly on the bed (i.e when the baby is much younger & cant turn his/her head effortlessly).

I prefer my baby sleeping lying on his side at least before he is 3 months old. When he is lying face down and cannot turn his head, anything can block his nose and he suffocates. You can't stand by and watch him 24/7. Anything can go wrong just google Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Also, i don't like him sleeping face up because he can regurgitate something that will flow back and block his airways.
