Do you have a tummy sleeper?

Question

Our little one is starting to roll onto his tummy to sleep at night (no longer swaddled). I just can’t stop worrying about him suffocating (nothing else but the fitted sheet on the crib). Any tips to keep him on his back? Also, he is a horrible sleeper-any tips would be great!

Answer

Mines been on his tummy since I had him pretty much. We would put him on his back and he would roll to his tummy. Did it at a day old in the nursery and freaked the staff out lol. He freaks out any other way and refuses to sleep to scream instead.

Answer

Right there with you. But I did a lot of reading and once they can roll both directions you don't have to flip them back over also the chances of SIDS goes down tremendously if they are at this milestone. If there is nothing in their sleep space I think it's totally ok and normal for babies to want to sleep on their tummies. Yet it us very scary the first night I hardly slept. My daughter likes to put her face down into the bed not to the side so it really freaks me out.

Answer

My daughter loves rolling on to her tummy to sleep. She is 5 months old. She started rolling to sleep on her tummy to sleep 1.5 weeks ago. I was a nervous wreck! But as a previous poster said, once they can roll both ways, you don't have to put them on their back. Always put them down to sleep on their back, but you don't have to turn them over anymore. 
Evelyn has been rolling tummy to back since she was 7 weeks old. It still makes me nervous that she sleeps in her tummy but she is doing well.
