He sleeps on his tummy now and it freaks me out.

As soon as we moved him to the crib last week he started flipping over onto his tummy.  Scares me to death, but I can't get up and flip him all night long!

Tell me it will be ok.

DH and I are tummy sleepers along with most of the ones on the board.  Until recently "Back to sleep" was unheard of.  There are differnt studies that say backs and some that say tummy.

It'll be OK!  Once he's old/big enough to roll himself onto his tummy he can roll himself off if need be. 

My little guy started sleeping on his belly at about 5-6 months and for a few weeks I was up ALL.NIGHT.LONG. flipping him back over, I finally gave in and we he hasn't looked back.  He now immediately flips onto his tummy when I lay him down in his crib drowsy. He also started sleeping through the night shortly after I started letting him sleep on his tummy and overall he just sleeps much deeper that way.

it is fine. once they are rolling over it is fine, they have enough muscle control to move or turn if necessary. don't worry.
