Babies: 9 - 12 Months

For babies who sleep on their tummy...

Do you put them to sleep on their backs and they flip over on their own, or do you put them down already on their tummy?

  • DS usually does some rolling around before settling on his tummy (with his head jammed into the corner of the pnp). I put him down on his back.

  • I always put DD down on her back and she flips over to her belly before she falls asleep.  (I always put her towards the front of the crib so when she flips, she is in the middle.)
  • I put DD on her back and she always rolls on to her tummy

  • whispering:

    I put him down on his tummy.  That's the only way he would sleep from about 6 wks on.....and it's been great since.  I do have the Angelcare monitor though for my sanity (and his safety)

  • I put her down on her tummy.  She flips mid-air anyway if I don't...so its that, or reposition her w/in 30 seconds of putting her down on her back...

  • No, I put him down on his tummy and that's how he stays.  He started this @ 3 months.  It was the only way he'd sleep.
  • I put him down on his tummy.
  • I've put her down on her tummy every night since about 4 weeks old. Now she rolls over and over back and forth, but she use to just sleep in one spot, on her tummy, happily and for about 5 hours at a time when she was 2 months old. On her back she would wake every 20-40 minutes.

  • I put him on his tummy.  He has been a tummy sleeper for a long time.

  • I put my baby down to sleep on his tummy.  When he was younger I would put him to sleep on his back.  Since he is older now he definitely prefers his belly.
