DS sleeping on stomach

Anyone have any suggestions. I always put him on his back to sleep and when I wake up he's on his stomach again. Do they reach a certain age where it's ok or is it still unsafe?

Re: DS sleeping on stomach

  • Once they can roll themselves onto their stomach it's fine to let them stay that way. DS sleeps in his stomach every night.

  • I am now laying my daughter on her tummy as she rolls there anyways and wakes herself up trying to get comfy! As long as he can roll and pull his head up, you are good to go. Just don't swaddle arms in anymore (ifyou still swaddle).
  • My DD sleeps on her tummy too. I always put her on her back but she just loves to sleep on her tummy.

  • DS is also a tummy sleeper now. He will sometimes lay his head straight into the mattress. He can still breathe like this, but it does scare me a little so I move his face sideways.

  • Videos from the CDC on SIDS recommend always putting baby on back but let them do whatever they want after that. It's harder for babies to roll from back to front so if you baby can get to the tummy from back, he can get out again.

  • Thanks so much!
