What happens when your child rolls from their back to their stomach every time they are put on a surface of any kind. This is the case with Avery. While we worry about SIDS and normally abide by the “back to sleep” campaign at night, at what point do we stop worrying about keeping Avery on her back while she sleeps? Some say keep her on her back however you can, but I say if she sleeps better, by all means, let her stay on her stomach if she puts herself there.

Hi! I’m usually a lurker on your site, but I had to chime in.
I had a similar problem with my daughter when she was 3 months old. I asked the doctor, and she told me that if the baby is old enough to roll in her sleep, then chances are she is going to be able to adjust herself in her sleep if her air flow is ‘cut off’.
Of course, this didn’t make me any less worried, but it was helpful to know! Hope it helps you too!

I don’t know how she managed it, but my daughter always found her way onto her stomach during sleep — from birth on. And, if we tried to roll her onto her onto her back she would wake up and not go back to sleep. We ended up buying a crib motion alarm.

Personally, once my kids could roll themselves over in their sleep, I just left them to sleep in whatever way they comfortable. I wouldn’t get my knickers in a twist about her moving in her sleep if she’s not comfortable she’ll move.
