We turned his head to the side. :meh: hopefully I can get used to it and stop worrying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2216687 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 17:42:11 +0000 MrsRcCar 2216687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boys have always slept better on their tummys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2216593 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:29:36 +0000 josina 2216593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E just started rolling to his belly so he's been belly sleeping for a week now at 6 months 3 weeks. When I set him down on his back he instantly goes to his side, and eventually his belly.<br /> I worried too and even caught him sleeping face-down a few times but he always moved his head on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2215962 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 07:24:21 +0000 magnolia 2215962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks mamas. He slept really well. I did not but since he is fine this am I m gonna go with it :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2215954 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 07:11:32 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2215954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as she could roll on her own... so it was before she was 6 months old. The risk of SIDS greatly decreases after 6 months of age, so I wouldn't be too worried and just enjoy the sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2215867 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 23:18:33 +0000 anonysquire 2215867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since he was born. Ya... I'm that mom. It's the only way he will sleep at all. It puts a little pressure on his colicky belly. But he does have a head roll that prevents him from moving his head. Idk, it works for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2215805 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 21:32:38 +0000 blackbird 2215805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2215803 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 21:31:59 +0000 SweetiePie 2215803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4-5 months he could roll to his belly. Once they can get there themselves by rolling they are allowed to sleep on their belly. Don't freak out :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2215799 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 21:27:01 +0000 runnerd 2215799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5-6 months. once they can move themselves how they want, sleep position is really in their hands! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2215767 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 20:57:35 +0000 jape14 2215767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS started rolling to his tummy to sleep around 5-5.5 months. (We had swaddled/Merlin Suit weaned at 4 months when we sleep trained.) I freaked out the first few nights but I got over it eventually. At 9.5 months I still put him on his back to sleep, but he rolls to his side/back immediately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2215741 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 20:37:19 +0000 msplatypus 2215741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She started rolling on to her side to sleep at 5 months, full belly sleeping by 5.5. She sleeps so much better that way and rolls all around so it's useless to try and change it. She is almost 8 months. Ped said it was fine once she was able to do it herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2215740 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 20:36:21 +0000 Tanjowen 2215740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid started rolling to his belly at 4 months. I worried, but my pediatrician said if he could get there then he was fine with it. We did stop swaddling and removed everything from the crib (no bumpers, blankets, toys.). It was some great sleep for us for a long time! At 14 months he decided to become a back sleeper again :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2215739 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 20:35:39 +0000 fancyfunction 2215739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M started doing this at 5 mo and instead of constantly fighting it, I let it happen - it's how she wanted to sleep and the dr said it was fine. I was very worried when it started happening but realized it was how she was most comfortable and she was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/belly-sleeping#post-2215736 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 20:33:45 +0000 magnolia 2215736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby boy is 6.5 months. He has been rolling over every night for the past week. He also has been fighting going to bed. Tonight after an hour of trying to get him to sleep he was lying on his side, crying and I'm shushing him and patting his back. For some reason I decide to roll him from his side to his belly and he instantly falls asleep.</p> <p>Of course now I'm freaking. When did you start putting your baby to sleep on their belly?? :bummed: </p>
