Tummy sleeping

Erin
My baby is 7.5 weeks old and has decided that literally ANY time he is on his back (whether he is inclined or not) he screams bloody murder. He slept on his back since day 1 so I'm not sure what the change is from but he only seems to want to sleep on his stomach now. I've been trying (without success) to get him down for some sleep for hours by putting him on his back. As soon as I put him on his stomach he shut his eyes and went to sleep 😩 I know we all turned out fine from stomach sleeping but I'm just so worried that he will stop breathing. I know this is a controversial issue and I'm not looking for criticisms. I would gladly lose sleep to keep him happy and healthy but when he isn't able to sleep, he isn't able to do all of the developing that is necessary for new babies. Obviously, I only allow him to stomach sleep when I'm right beside him and can keep a constant eye on him. I'm just struggling with wondering if I'm making the right choice.
