Any other moms let babies sleep on stomach?

Question

Mine slept on her stomach until she was 5 1/2 months old. Now she sleeps on her belly. She won't sleep on her back anymore. I feel like if you do it properly, there's nothing to worry about.

Answer

I put them on their back to sleep but once they can roll over, the tummy should be fine. You can really keep flipping them back over all night...

Answer

Mine ALWAYS flipped to her stomach. Our Doctor reccomend a back but said ultimately they are going to do what they want and you can't really do a whole lot about it lol.

Answer

Mine preferred side sleeping. I got one of those contraptions that kept them there, so they couldn't roll onto bellies. Once they can support themselves, belly sleeping didn't bother me as much.

Answer

By 5 1/2 months she should be able to roll over both ways and has good core strength. So I wouldn't worry about. Especially if she rolls over onto her tummy herself

Answer

At 5 1/2 months, I wouldn't worry. For a new born, the vast majority are best on their backs. My friends son had to sleep on his side. We watched him spit up and not turn his head so start aspirating on it. After that, he was always on his side.
