Best Answer

The biggest risk when letting a baby sleep in the prone position is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It is never safe to let a baby sleep in the prone position, but keeping them in that position when they are awake, can strengthen the neck muscles of a baby. Just remember to constantly monitor the baby when you do that.
