    He can sleep on his tummy now. As long as he can turn over on his own, he’ll be fine. If you’re like me, you’ll panic at first & check him constantly for a few days. Just keep an eye on him as usual.

    If your son is old enough to roll over onto his stomach to sleep then he is old enough to sleep on his stomach safely.

    I wouldn’t recommend laying him in his crib on his stomach though because children who sleep on their stomach have a higher rate of SIDS than those who sleep on their backs.

    I would say when he learns to do it on his own. He will be ready then.

    I kept my daughter on her back until she started rolling over, now i let her sleep however she wants. she’ll sleep on belly back side, just whatever is comfy for her. I let my oldest sleep on her belly when she was like 2 months old, she wouldn’t sleep anyother way. It didn’t/doesn’t bother either girl. I sleep however I feel comfy so why not them?

    I don’t want to just negate what everyone says but just because the baby can roll over, doesn’t mean he should sleep on his back.

    If he’s so soundly asleep that he burrows into a corner of the bed (esp. one with a bumper), he will not wake himself up to roll over. Babies don’t have the “I’m-in-a-bad-position-so-I
    -better- roll-over” instinct. Do you get what I’m saying?

    I know most of us probably were raised sleeping on our stomachs and I know babies sleep more soundly on their bellies (why they also don’t wake as easily!) but, STATISTICS show that, since drs have been recommending babies be placed on their backs, the rate of SIDS has been reduced betw. 65-80%!!

    Really, go with your gut on this. If you’ve been placing your baby on his/her back all this time, keep doing it. The best determinate is when you wake up in the morning and your child has rolled from his back to his stomach. THEN you know he can wake himself.

    G-d bless you and baby!
