My first born liked to bury her face in my laps every time she had a chance although she grew out of the habit when she turned two. Even though this behavior is cute and amusing, parents tend to worry of the wellbeing of the baby wondering if they are breathing fine. So, why do babies bury their face and is it safe? Why Does My Baby Like To Bury His Face? Babies bury their faces because it makes them feel comfortable, sensory seeking, rooting or they are in a new situation. Babies can also bury their face because that is their preferred sleeping position or they like the smell of mum or caregiver.

Physical touch is proven to reduce stress and has numerous advantages to babies. They may automatically cuddle close to a parent in need of more comfort when they are stressed out or tired. Additionally, as babies are growing up, they are used to pressings their cheeks against their mothers skin when breastfeeding. This makes the baby develop a positive relation with things pressed against their cheeks. Sensory seeking It's crucial to keep in mind that the world is totally new to babies. It's possible that your child enjoys burrowing or burying their face to explore all the different sensations available. This is known as "sensory seeking," takes place when young children look for various sensations. Even though it might sound strange, your baby can use the face to explore the environment. And besides, the texture of a soft blanket differs greatly from that of a stuffed animal cushion or a hard area of carpet. Rooting Some infants use the "rooting technique" which involves turning their heads toward the breast. In their quest for food, some babies may brush their faces across your entire chest, while others may become confused by your arm and burrow into your armpit.

Yes, there are some complications associated with baby burying their face especially when sleeping. This can make the baby not to get enough oxygen. Also, some babies sleep in one position and are unable to shift position which can lead to suffocation. Sleeping with the face buried down increases the chances of SIDS. SIDS happens when a baby under the age of one unexpectedly passes away. SIDS-related deaths frequently happen in the crib or while the baby is asleep. SIDS is believed to be brought on by a newborn having trouble breathing and awakening from sleep, according to doctors. How To Prevent A Baby From Sleeping With His Face Buried Sleep sack Sleep sacks don't unravel like traditional swaddles do. As a result, your baby won't be able to pull her swaddle up and over her head and wriggle out of it. Blankets or swaddles Ensure you use a breathable blanket in the crib if your child absolutely has to use a blanket Even if your baby manages to pull the blanket up and over her face, loosely crocheted or mesh blankets will let a lot of air through. Stuffed animals Newborns shouldn't sleep with stuffed animals, but an older infant can be given a tiny toy to cuddle with. In order to prevent your young child from sleeping with her entire face pressed against the mattress, give her something small to snuggle. Sleeping Tips For Every Parent • Refrain from using any kind of mattress protector, including waterproof sheets or plastic coverings. • Toys with protruding points or edges should be avoided giving him because they may be dangerous if they got lodged in his neck while he was sleeping. • You can prevent your baby's head from hitting the mattress or pillow when he spreads his arms and bury his face by placing rolled-up towels on either side of his head. • Check your baby regularly throughout the night. • Your child should always be placed to sleep on their back. • Don't share a bed with your baby.
