6 month old started rolling onto his tummy during naps. Should I go flip him back over? He only sleeps on his side or back.

Question

Answer

My 6 month old baby boy hates sleeping on his back he only sleeps on his side or tummy. Every night I lay him down on his side he immediately rolls over to his tummy & ocasionally will wake up in the middle of the night for his paci & we roll him back onto his side but he wakes up right back on his stomach. He's done this since he's been 5 months old.

Answer

Don't worry mama! Once they can roll, it's totally fine😁 most babies this age prefer sleeping on their bellies.

Answer

Once they can roll, it's safe! Trust me if you flip them back over every time they roll you'll drive yourself crazy lol my sons been rolling in his sleep since he turned 5 months and the first week or so of me finding him face down freaked me out so bad. I'd go crazy turning him back over,
I barely go any sleep because I was so paranoid watching him all night. Even though I knew it was fine to let him be I drove myself nuts lol I finally just let it go! He seems to prefer to at least be on his side anyway! Now that he's done it a while he doesn't roll onto his belly as much while sleeping, I think when it was so new he was even practicing in his sleep! Haha
