Mamas who don't swaddle anymore....come in!

Does your LO sleep on their belly? We stopped swaddling a few weeks ago, and as soon as I put him down on his back (drowsy or awake) he automatically just flips onto his belly and falls asleep. He usually sleeps pretty well, and we have a Snuza that makes me feel a little more comfortable...

I have to laugh because i put him in his crib on his back, and within about an hour he is completely turned around and flipped over! 

What position does your LO sleep in?

    I tend to alternate between putting down on back or side. Baby will often start by sleeping in the position I put him down in, but within an hour is at least on his side and occasionally belly.
    Sometimes in the middle of the night he makes enough noise to wake me, but remains asleep himself, and when I go in to check [because we don't have a video monitor, just an angelcare sound and movement ] I find him on his belly. I generally then leave him asleep but don't tell DH what position as he is still worried about tummy sleeping and SIDS.

    LO is such a wiggle worm. He moves all around his crib. He usually prefers to sleep on his side though. He never rolls onto his tummy(probably b/c he hates tummy time I guess).

    On her back. She hasn't rolled over yet, not even once, not even on accident. She wiggles around some and will turn her head side to side but that's it. She's not super keen on being on her belly so I doubt she would want to sleep that way even if should could, but who knows!

    This is exactly us.  I haven't swaddled Emma that last couple of nights because I'm nervous she'll start rolling soon.  She does wiggle and will be turned around sometimes but definitely no rolling onto her tummy.  She HATES tummy time.  I'm pretty sure she'll roll from her back to her tummy before she'll do her tummy to back because she gets so upset she just puts her face in the ground... I feel terrible and I roll her myself.

    We don't swaddle anymore. He stays on his back but scootches down usually at a diagonal toward the side of his crib.

    We haven't swaddled since she was 2 or 3 weeks old.  She usually sleeps on her back or on her side.  We bedshare so I won't let her sleep on her tummy.  She sleeps great and rarely even fully wakes to eat or get her diaper changed, but I wish she'd sleep in her own bed!
