K on Peanut: Sleeping on Belly

K · 2020-12-08T15:57Z

My son is now 4 months old and has learned to roll over onto his belly at night. I always make sure that his head is turned and not face down into the mattress. After a recent visit with the doctor however I was told that he absolutely should not be sleeping on his belly yet. I feel like the doctor scares me into doing what she wants. I did a little research and despite what the doctor said the articles I’ve found say that if they roll over themselves leave them. I just wanted some advice from other moms on what they thought. Should I listen to the doctor or do what I think is best for my baby?
