Sleeping on tummy

So, rolling.  DD rolled from back to front for the first time yesterday.  Last night I woke up twice to find her sleeping on her belly.  Good thing we already started weaning off he swaddle!  Should I be worried about her rolling herself over in the night?

    I think the rule is still lay them on their back, but don't stress it if they roll over...I think at that point they are fine.  Definitely don't swaddle though.

    my pedi told me it was ok for lo to take naps on his tummy. Not sure about night time sleeping. I would think if lo rolled himself over, it's ok.

    Definitely stop swaddling, but if they can roll on their own it's really not a big deal.  Mine will only sleep on their stomachs.

    My girl has slept on her back and side since day one and still hasn't figured out how to roll in either direction.

    No, if she can roll by herself its fine.  No need to wake her to roll her back over.

    With DS (baby #1) I would run in to his room throughout the night to flip him to his back....DD (#2) has been on her back for almost a month.....it's all about your comfort level (which I assure you, will increase if this is your first baby!)

    My DS rolls both ways (one of the early-birds on this board, and he just really wants to move!). Since he is doing that, I let him be if he rolls on his tummy to sleep (he usually does). I still put him down on his back and will continue doing so, but I'm not going to turn him every time he rolls. Especially because we are definitely in the 4 month sleep regression, and I need all the sleep I can get!!

    I also have the Angelcare monitor with the motion sensor, which made me a lot more comfortable about allowing him to sleep on his tummy if he puts himself there. Just my opinion, though.
