Actually I work in the hospital. We use supine and prone a lot. They are medical terms. Since I have been in US for 9 years, I have never heard them outside of the hospital. You are using them with your children. I think using lay on your back or lay on your stomach would be ok.
เวลาเราเล่นกับลูกหรือสั่งลูกมานอนใกล้ๆ เราจะใช้ lie down ตัวนี้ตลอดเลยคะ
เช่น come and lie down near mum. หรือ lie down on your back (on blanket), mum will wrap you.
