have a almost (tomorrow) 6 month old baby and at night I put him down on his back, during the course of the night he ends up rolling himself over in his crib to his stomach. I roll him back onto his back but still he keeps ending up on his stomach. Is this ok? If not how can I keep him on his back?
Do not worry. If he is strong enough to turn over he is strong enough to lift his head up if he can not breath.(if it is suffocation you are worried about).
Do not worry about turning him back over, it is pointless. He probably gets more restful sleep on his stomach.
Relax and remember you need sleep too!
hello. I think its very normal at that stage as my daughters six months old and she also sleeps on her tummy.
When I was raising my 3 children, we were told to put them on their backs. They all turned out fine. I think you should not worry about that. Sounds like you are a great mom, though!
Yeah, I agree with Jerrie. Don't worry about it. Let him sleep however he's comfy.
my youngest has slept on his belly since literally birth. i used to slightly worry before he could push himself up. but overall, their comfort is most important. my oldest is a back sleeper completely.
If he can turn over on his own in bed then it's perfectly fine, just keep loose blankets and pillows out of the crib.
He should be fine. He's old enough now to turn his head and hold it up. The scare with laying face down is that newborns can't easily move themselves if a sheet or something is covering their nose/mouth.
