He cries and won’t settle until he’s laying on his front. I turn him back when I can but he loves rolling on his front. My first was the same and I let him sleep on his tummy once I felt he was old enough. He’s five months old and has strong head control so he can move his face side to side but can’t roll back onto his back yet. He cries when he wants to turn onto his back but can’t himself. I’ve heard about positional asphyxiation lately and it scares me. Just wondering if other mums let them sleep on their front and from what age if so?

If he rolls into that position by himself then it's perfectly fine, even if he can't roll back yet. All good 👍🏻🙂

I left my girl when she would roll to her front. Started at 6.5 months, she couldn’t roll back, but can could put her weight on her arms and lift her head up and when she needed us that’s what she did. If it’s causing more upset to keep rolling him back then I’d leave him as long as you’ve made his sleep space as safe as possible

I've had my boy on his front occasionally since he got colic at 4 weeks old but only during the day, when I'm around

Mine hated being on his back from about two months was scared at first but he’s got solid neck control so manages well he sleeps so much better plus has reflux so better for him x

Don’t judge me please but mine sleeps like this since she was born. She hated it on the back. But I have to say that she startet to hold her head up at 2 days old

He lays on his front when he naps on me during the day but in his crib, my son lays on his back x

My little boy would only settle on his front from a few days old, so that’s how he slept, I just kept checking him during the night. He’s now nearly 2 and fine. I think you do what’s best for your baby. Xx
