tummy sleeping?

IndyKat · June 2009

DD will not stay sleeping on her back anymore. I roll her over and she goes right back to her tummy. She is 4 1/2 months....what do I do?? I know that sleeping on their back reduces SIDS, but I can't get her to stay there. With her on her tummy I can't walk away from the monitor or crib b/c I am SO PARANOID!! What's a momma to do?!

Kiddo always rolls over on his tummy to sleep too. I think once they can roll both ways and hold their heads up easily, the SIDS risk really isn't there. I don't really worry because he easily moves his head at this point.

Thanks ncbelle...That is what I seem to be finding online. I just worry that she will be in such a deep sleep she won't move if she isn't getting enough air. However, I go in and turn her over and she flips RIGHT back to her tummy so there is little I can do about it...but PRAY!! ugh!
