Because the human body's abdomen is relative to the back, lack of bone protection, vulnerable to external injury, and more sensitive. This is the most natural posture for self-protection. And many babies seem to be born prone to sleep, which is also based on the above principle, to protect the most vulnerable part of the body. When they sleep deeply, they feel more secure and easy to sleep well, so as to reduce crying, which is conducive to the development of the nervous system.
2. It is beneficial to the peristalsis and digestion of the stomach. When sleeping on the stomach, it is not easy for the contents of the stomach to flow into the esophagus and mouth, causing vomiting; on the contrary, it peristalsis into the small intestine, which is conducive to digestion and absorption.
3. Prone can make the baby driven by the head up and chest, so as to exercise the neck, chest, back and limbs and other large muscle groups, which is conducive to the training of turning over and crawling.

Lying on one's side
advantage:

Therefore, lying on the right side can make the stomach contents flow to the small intestine more easily; at the same time, in case of vomiting, lying on the side can make the vomit in the mouth flow out from the low angle instead of into the throat.
2. If one side of the lung is inflamed, the other side can be used to make the secretion (sputum) of the inflamed part easy to flow out of the trachea.
3. Reduce snoring baby sleep snoring, more by the throat part of the secretion and soft tissue vibration. Lateral lying can change the position of throat soft tissue, reduce the retention of secretions, make the baby's breathing more smoothly, and will not snore.
Disadvantages:
1. It is easy to cause vomiting or milk spilling when lying on the left side, because the junction of stomach and esophagus is on the left side, so it is easy for stomach contents to return to esophagus when lying on the left side.
2. It's tired to maintain the posture. The baby's body is round, and her limbs are short. It's not easy to maintain the lateral position. She needs to use a pillow to support her chest and back.

3. Flexible limbs movement, limbs are not limited, so that the baby sleep more relaxed, comfortable.
Disadvantages:
1. The physiological structure of the stomach makes it easy for stomach contents to return to the esophagus when lying on the back, causing vomiting; moreover, the vomit is not easy to flow out of the mouth, and will accumulate in the throat, which is easy to choke into the trachea and lung, causing danger.
2. Psychologically, the sense of security is relatively small, because all the vulnerable parts of the human body are exposed to the outside. Psychologically, they lack a sense of security and are not easy to fall asleep.
