Help me settle this. If baby can ONLY roll back t belly, do I need to flip him back still? My pediatrician said yes. But he will NOT stay on his back at night and I am getting 0 sleep. What do I do!?

Question

Answer

I would leave him he has the strength to move his head if he needs to. I’m sure he would let you know if he wanted moving.

Answer

My little one has been sleeping on her stomach for over a month now. It scares me so much (First time mom lol). I use the Owlet and it helps me a little. I just leave her and pray everything will be okay. 
I make sure the sheet is tight and no toys or blankets are in the bed. So I know she is safe. But it's hard.

Answer

My girl still can’t roll belly to back but I’ve been letting her sleep this way for a few months now. I used the cubbycove when she was smaller since it’s breathable. On her back she wakes up every two hours. On her belly she sleeps 12 hours a night.

Answer

My son keeps rolling onto his side when sleeping now and I kept turning him back but he keeps moving back to that position so I just leave him now. I make sure there is nothing but him and his dummy in the cot so I know he is safe. They can lift their heads now and would let us know if not comfortable.

Answer

Baby will let you know when they’re ready to be flipped. My son rolls over the second he’s payed down and gets pissed if I roll him to his back. If your babe can lift their head well while on belly, you’re good.

Answer

14 hours last night on belly. Ped said flip baby back, but I can't stand not getting sleep. It's up to you, but with my kids, once they could put themselves there and have the strength to move their head while on their bellies, I just let them sleep.

Answer

Leave him, my girl is the same. She lets me know when she really wants to be flipped.

Answer

Leave him, my son sleeps 11 hours on his belly.
