Children from 4 to 6 months have learned to roll over on their own, but this time parents are often worried about whether the child can roll over smoothly or always up expecting them to sleep peacefully in a fixed position. So they insist on using the hold sleep position to stabilize the child's sleeping position, which is actually a bad habit! Cuddling can affect your child's turning habits and create dependency. Therefore, this stage of the child can already sleep independently.

Do not think that the soft mattress is more comfortable, too soft mattress is easy to bury the child's face into the mattress sponge tissue, which may lead to child suffocation. In addition, the size of the mattress must be appropriate or loose mattress may leave a gap between the bed and the help, which is easy to pinch the child's hands and feet. The gap between the bed guardrail should not be too large, so that when the child is naughty, it is easy to put the head out, it will be stuck in the child's head.
