Is anyone else’s 5 month old sleeping on their tummy? She started sleeping on her side and now she just wants to sleep on her tummy 🫠
I can’t sleep because I’m checking the monitor every hour to see if she’s okay 🙃

My son started doing it a month or so ago (he’s almost 6 months).

Yeah same as Emily. My LG is almost 6 months and been doing jt maybe 5-6 weeks. She could only roll one way (back to belly) up until last week but managed ok. I just watched her a few nap times to make sure she was safe. So long as it’s a firm mattress and you always put them down on their back first (so you know they get onto their belly themselves) it’s ok.
I spent ages awake and flipping her back onto her back but we both got no sleep so was counterproductive 😭
I think even lullaby trust says you’re not expected to stay up all night and flip them back 🙏🏻🤞🏻

Thank you so much! This is so reassuring 🩷🩷

Same. Last couple of weeks suddenly started sleeping on sides and then on front. Every time I turn him back he just does it again. Have given up rolling him from sides as waste of time. He sometimes wakes himself up though trying to roll from front back on to his back though depending on where he is positioned in the crib as he's such a wiggle butt so do still try shift him whilst sleeping if I wake and find this.
Keep resting my hand on his sleep sack to check breathing as so quiet. I'd never sleep if had to turn him every time.

Yup! He will only sleep on his tummy now 🙈
He'll quite happily sleep all through the night though, which he never did before! But yes, I've been a nervous wreck for the past week or so, constantly waking up to check on him, as I often find him face down which scares the hell out of me!! He has a breathable mattress and sheet, and also a breathing monitor so I'm trying to tell myself everything will be fine, but I can't help worrying 😩

This is exactly how I feel!! 🩷 can’t wait to not worry about it and know that she will be okay! 😊🩷

My girl is sleeping on her belly and immediately flips back. I’m so grateful I got the owlet it gives me more peace of mind knowing that she still has oxygen flowing.. it’s kinda pricey 200 range, but anxiety level go ALL the way down if I’m being honest
