Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Belly sleeping

Just this week Fiona started sleeping on belly..I know they say no worries if they can roll, but i still have a little worry? Anyone else now belly sleepers?

Re: Belly sleeping

  • DD started rolling onto her belly to sleep at five months. Don't worry, I'm sure at seven months she is quite strong. In about a week you won't even think about it. I love the name Fiona btw!

  • Marley has slept on her belly since she was 3 months and she doesn't roll. I feel safer having her on her belly. One time she vomited in her sleep. There was vomit all over her crib. If she had been on her back she would've choked and aspirated and possibly died. Belly sleeping is the way to go.

  • yep, just this last week, and I am up checking on her half the night because of it.  I know she is fine as she rolls all over the place but that doesn't stop me from worrying...

  • Around 4 months, when he could roll back to belly. It was scary because he couldn't roll belly to back yet, but he was happiest there!
  • DS was a belly sleeper since about 4 months and I was worried then, but Dr. said that after month 5 the risk of SIDS from belly sleep goes down drastically and after month 6 is virtually non existant.

  • DS has recently started doing this and sleeps better because of it.  I don't try to roll him back because he'll just end up on his belly again.  He's not a fan of rolling and rarely rolls from belly to back, but I'm not too worried.  He'll cry if he gets stuck.
  • Yep, me too, since 3 months, the very day she rolled over for the first time. Can't help it. Just let them be. Once they can roll they are fine. Read for yourself at sidsalliance.com. Sorry I am not making it an active link: https://www.sidsalliance.com/new_exp_parents/new_exp_rollover.html
