Do any of you let your baby sleep on tummy

My LO turned five months yesterday, he rolls from back to tummy constantly. We Co sleep at night, and he naps in our bed with the door open so i can keep an eye on him. This past week he keeps rolling onto his tummy to sleep and i'm constantly flipping hum back over. He seems to sleep deeper abs better on tummy, but i'm not totally ok with it. Just scares me. Does anyone else allow their babies to sleep on their tummies?

I do, but in her crib not on our bed. Our bed is not firm enough. She's been sleeping on her tummy since 4 weeks? Ever since she could move her head back and forth. I've always felt more comfortable with the idea than having her on her back ( fearing shed throw up and choke, etc.)

Ds sleeps in his crib until around 5ish. Often if he is not quite asleep or if he wakes, he will roll onto his tummy. I just leave him since I know he will roll to his back or cry if he needs help rolling onto his back while sleeping. I try to not let him sleep on his tummy on our bed though. I have had him roll to the edge of the bed when I laid him down while getting dressed. In the time it took for me to turn my back to grab a shirt off a hanger and turn back around he had almost fallen to the floor, so I refuse to let him be on the bed without supervision.

Jake has been rolling over for the past couple of weeks, and his neck muscles are plenty strong enough to turn his head for air, so we just let him stay. We have an Angel Care monitor designed to alert us if he stops breathing (or wiggles off the pad), so we have a little peace of minld.

Yea the husband and i had previously decided to wait until a year old to move him into his crib, but i'm thinking it might be time now. This makes me sad, as i love cuddling at night. However i'm feeling it's the decision. I do keep a really good eye on him during his naps, but like you said they can roll in an instant. Thank you for your input ladies.

I would love to get the angel care!! I would feel so much better!

Yes, ever since DS could roll consistently, he's been sleeping on his tummy (he's almost 5 months old and has been doing this for a couple weeks now)

DS was an early roller, so he's been sleeping on his tummy for awhile (for naps). At night he was still being swaddled, but a couple weeks ago he figured out how to roll over to his tummy while swaddled, and that worried me because what if he couldn't roll back. So now he's unswaddled at night. We put him down on his back and then he rolls all over his crib until he's comfy. He always ends up on his stomach.
