Anyone else’s baby sleep better on their stomach? I know it’s not recommended, just curious.

Question

Answer

My baby sleeps 60% of the time on his belly, the other 20% on his side, and 10% on his back. Since day one he hasn’t been a back sleeper. He will never sleep more than 10-15m at a time. We tried everything. 
It’s a huge source of stress for me, and we have bought the Nanit monitoring system, but if he’s not on his side or tummy he won’t sleep. 
I keep reminding myself that most of us slept on our tummies and we are all here. I keep a close eye and check on him throughout the night. That’s the best I can do for him to finally rest.

Answer

She is my fourth and she doesn’t. My other 2 boys were both tummy sleepers. My other girl changed her mind every night

Answer

She sleeps the best laying on my chest at almost a 90deg angle bc of reflux- but I never let her sleep like that if I’m too tired to be awake. I wish I could though. I let her nap like that as much as she wants because I want her to be comfy. It’s 4am here and I’m wide awake so she’s sleeping on me

Answer

My paediatrician gave me the green light to make him nap on his tummy (strictly during day time only) we also have a the Angel monitor on. Today is our first day trying. So far the first two naps he sleeps right away as soon as i put him down in his crib and stay asleep til he finishes his cycle (35-45) min approx. While usually I put him down then he stirs, wake himself up after 5-10 min and cry and we needed to sooth him all over again. So far it’s working great 👍🏼

Answer

Mine tries to roll over to sleep but I haven’t let him. I might start when he’s able to roll over back and forth easier.

Answer

Yeah my son tends to take longer naps on his stomach than he does on his back. I started doing daytime naps on his belly because his head was starting to get flat.
