Put your baby on their back for every sleep, day and night. This is the best sleeping position for a baby as the chance of SIDS is particularly high for babies who are sometimes placed on their front or side.
Putting an infant under 1 year old to sleep on their stomach is not recommended by healthcare experts. Instead of allowing an infant to sleep on their stomach or side, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that caregivers place infants on their back until the child is at least 1 year of age.
What is the difference between spitting up and vomiting? Spitting up is the easy flow of a baby's stomach contents through his or her mouth, possibly with a burp. Vomiting occurs when the flow is forceful — shooting out inches rather than dribbling from the mouth.
Should I burp my baby after breastfeeding while lying down? Whether feeding in a reclining position or lying, burping the baby is essential to release trapped air from their tummy (5). Generally, there's no set rule as to when you should burp your baby. Some babies need burping during the feeding and some after (6).
If the baby does not release air through a burp after feeding, they may have discomfort later as it moves through the intestines and causes gas. In addition, some babies are so sleepy at the breast or bottle that they fail to take in enough calories at their meals.
“One of the disadvantages of lying down is that as the child sucks, it could aspirate,” Ewurum said. “This breast milk can leave the child's stomach and enter into the lungs and this can cause lung infection. “Also, as the child is sucking, some of the breast milk might drip out of the mouth into the ear.
Overfeeding always makes spitting up worse. If the stomach is completely full, spitting up is more likely. If your baby is gaining well, give him smaller amounts (at least 1 ounce less than you have been giving). Wait at least 2 and 1/2 hours between feedings.
Myth: Babies who sleep on their backs will choke if they spit up or vomit during sleep. Fact: Babies automatically cough up or swallow fluid that they spit up or vomit—it's a reflex to keep the airway clear. Studies show no increase in the number of deaths from choking among babies who sleep on their backs.
Side Lying Position

What are the symptoms? SIDS has no symptoms or warning signs. Babies who die of SIDS seem healthy before being put to bed. They show no signs of struggle and are often found in the same position as when they were placed in the bed.
SIDS usually occurs when a baby is asleep, although it can occasionally happen while they're awake. Parents can reduce the risk of SIDS by not smoking while pregnant or after the baby is born, and always placing the baby on their back when they sleep. Find out how to stop smoking.
Can you put baby down with hiccups? In most cases, it's totally fine to put baby on their back when they have hiccups; those little diaphragm spasms don't interfere with breathing so there's no physical or medical reason not to.
Most parents know that the safest way to put their baby to sleep is on its back. Babies who sleep on their backs are much less likely to die of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

Vomits or spits up forcefully every time. Vomits and then has trouble breathing or is choking. Won't eat or isn't gaining weight.
Pacifiers may stimulate saliva and the downward push of the esophagus, both of which may help to get fluids back into the stomach sooner rather than later. However, doctors are still not recommending pacifiers as a treatment.
Rapid Eye Movement (REM) or Active Sleep
The vast majority of newborns' smiles during sleep appear to occur when the eyes are moving rapidly, as they would during a dream. Studies suggest that adults smile in response to positive dream imagery.
