Best Answer

Laying a baby on his back is recommended to reduce the risk of a baby being smothered by his bed or blankets. It is said to reduce the risk of SIDS by ensuring that the baby can get clean, fresh air.

However, babies definitely need their tummy time. Research is showing that children who are always placed either on their backs or in toys that sit them up have massive learning and developmental problems. Supervising play time with your baby on his tummy every day will give him much improved hand eye coordination and help him learn how to crawl, roll over and walk at the appropriate times.
