Do You / Did You Let Your Newborn Sleep On His/Her Stomach ?

Question

I Was Told Never Let My Newborn Sleep On Her Stomach But I Can Tell She Is More Comfortable Doing So (She Sleeps Longer) . My Question Is Do You ?

Answer

My child wasn’t allowed to sleep on her stomach until she could roll. Yeah some people do it, but my daughter’s safety is more important to me than getting a little extra sleep.

Answer

I would speak to your pediatrician. I'm sure it's fine but the women on here will sentence your baby to certain death lol! Seriously, just call the office and speak with a nurse. Or make an appointment. If your baby has decent head control, it's ok.

Answer

No. Absolutely not.

Answer

If you let her sleep on her stomach supervised she will expect it at night as well. It's better to not start that bad habit. Safe sleep is on their back, on a flat surface with nothing else in their crib besides a pacifier if you choose. My son has special sleep arrangements due to medical issues and is hooked up to a pulse ox machine that tells me how well he is breathing. I still get nervous about him sleeping on his back or sides.

Answer

That’s the only way my four-month-old will sleep. He’s been sleeping on his stomach since he was six weeks old.. his doctors know and they were fine with it he’s always had strong head control and now he’s starting to roll.

Answer

Yes she did. And we both slept better for it.

Answer

It was the only way she would sleep after 2 weeks old. If I laid her on her back it was a scream fest, there was no calming her. Lay her on her stomach and she would immediately fall asleep. Even now at 7 mo old and she can roll she stays on her stomach occasionally lays on her side but not often.

Answer

My son almost chocked in his back. Pls do what’s best for ur child.

Answer

No tummy sleeping for my LO until she is old enough to roll over onto her belly herself.

Answer

My 7 week old sleeps on his belly but only on my chest while I’m holding him. When he sleeps on his own he sleeps on his back.
