The side-lying position is one of several options offered to women in the postpartum period to assist with early establishment of breastfeeding. Many new mothers are exhausted and experiencing significant pain following birth. While the side-lying position for breastfeeding can allow women to get needed rest, it can increase their risk of falling asleep while in this position and potentially smothering their babies. We report two cases of apparent suffocation in newborns on the maternity ward when women unintentionally fell asleep while breastfeeding in the side-lying position. Interventions that may help to prevent such events are suggested.
侧卧位是产后为女性提供的几种帮助早期建立母乳喂养的姿势选择之一。许多新妈妈在分娩后疲惫不堪且经历着剧痛。虽然母乳喂养时的侧卧位能让女性得到所需的休息，但这会增加她们在此姿势下入睡并可能闷死婴儿的风险。我们报告了两例在产科病房发生的新生儿明显窒息病例，当时女性在以侧卧位母乳喂养时意外睡着了。文中还提出了可能有助于预防此类事件的干预措施。
