Tummy sleeper?

Question

Is it ok at this age for babies to sleep on their tummies? My son is a super good roller now and I often find him on his stomach in his crib.. it kind of worries me but he sleeps sooo much better. Google has mixed reviews on the topic 🤔

Answer

Mine only sleeps on her stomach. From my understanding at this age it's fine. They have the control/strength to move their head.

Answer

I always put my LO to sleep on his back but he has rolled over to his tummy since around 4 months old. I was told it was fine because he had the head/neck strength to turn to breathe if needed or roll back over.

Answer

This is how I find my girl every single nap/night 
She’s fine & eventually rolls back over

Answer

My son does this.  As soon as we put him down he rolls over.  My Dr said it's fine... just keep putting him down on his back and if he rolls, he rolls.  Just keep his sleep space bare and no loose clothing!

Answer

My daughter will roll on her belly the second I put her down, as long as they can roll there themselves its fine.

Answer

If he does it then leave him he's fine

Answer

Thanks everyone for the feedback, I feel much better! Last night I let him sleep on his stomach instead of flipping him back and he slept the entire night!! He hasn’t done that in months. I feel so refreshed today lol! (I did however check on him at 3am because I was nervous 🤦🏽‍♀️)

Answer

I was told as soon as they could roll, stomach sleeping was fine. They actually have a deeper sleep when on their stomach. There’s no way on earth I could keep my son on his back. He turns over immediately

Answer

I put my son to sleep on his back and he tosses and turns all night. He likes to sleep on his tummy, side, back with arms up by his head. I just always make sure that he doesn’t have any loose clothes on that could roll up to his face, but I’m also paranoid lol.
