Sleeping position- 9 month old

Yes my little boy has done it from about 7 months, I just had to accept that’s how he wanted to sleep. Every single time I rolled him on his back he was straight back over on to his belly. He sleeps on his side/stomach every night now. I was nervous the first week or so but after that I knew he was absolutely fine. X

Thank you, yeah i have been finding the same. I roll him back but then within 5/10 mins he is back onto his stomach, so I've been quite nervous about it too and finding it hard to sleep as I'm watching the monitor but think I'll have to get used to it. Thank you

It does make you so anxious but as long as they can move their head side to side they are fine I think. Hope you get some sleep tonight ❤️❤️

My boys been belly sleeping since about 4mths. If they can roll it’s completely fine and they usually sleep better that way 😂

I read somewhere as long as baby can roll themselves over if they get into trouble (like difficulty breathing), then it’s okay to leave them to their preference as they can correct it if they need to

So the guidance is put them to
Sleep on their back, not that they must stay asleep on their back all night. If they roll onto their front themselves at this age you can usually leave them to it and if they can roll both ways then you can definitely leave them to it. My LB has front slept since 5 months old. I lay him down on his back and he rolls straight over. It’s actually helped him sleep better/through the night

Yes I have never turned her over and she has been sleeping like that since she could roll at 6 months 🙈

I second the above! It’s safest for them to sleep on backs as newborn and it’s best to put down on their backs but when they can roll back it’s perfectly fine to leave them. I wouldn’t keep moving them back

Thanks all, I have stopped moving him and he has been fine and he actually sleeps alot better on his side and front. So I've managed to get more sleep now too :)

Great news - enjoy the sleep!
