Especially for naps.

He has reflux & screamed on his back. The first two weeks he slept on our chests and then in a bassinet next to our bed, now his crib. The only time hell sleep on his back is when he's in our bed on our feather mattress topper. He has excellent head control & is very strong. He'll be 4 months Saturday and can almost sit up unassisted! californiadreams on "What position do you put your baby to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-position-do-you-put-your-baby-to-sleep#post-2364095 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 21:28:15 +0000 californiadreams 2364095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i only ever did back. i feel like it was ingrained into me and i didn't know people did anything else anymore.

We put him down on his back where he stays for naps when swaddled).

I don't care if I sound annoying.

He could go tummy to back but not back to tummy. And the movement startled him catomd00 on "What position do you put your baby to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-position-do-you-put-your-baby-to-sleep#post-2363998 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 20:30:54 +0000 catomd00 2363998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Back only! Even once she could roll both ways and was a tummy sleeper always her back. I couldn't live with myself if something happened and I had put her I that position. Even at 21 months I always put her on her back!

I lay her down on her back and she immediately rolls over.

Stomach would be unworkable anyway. For what it's worth, I've been able to shush pat on the chest as a nanny. Not as effective, but it did work.

I'm super paranoid about SIDS so the only time pre-rolling she wouldn't sleep on her back was if she was asleep on me while I was awake. hellobeeboston on "What position do you put your baby to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-position-do-you-put-your-baby-to-sleep#post-2363922 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 19:56:28 +0000 hellobeeboston 2363922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is only 7 weeks old, and still in RnP mostly, but if flat we are doing back until his neck is stronger. When my first LO started rolling he rolled straight to his belly and started sleeping much better Alivoo01 on "What position do you put your baby to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-position-do-you-put-your-baby-to-sleep#post-2363917 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 19:52:18 +0000 Alivoo01 2363917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ On his side. Even as a newborn, when I put him flat on his back, he somehow managed to roll to one side when he slept. Even though he didn't fully roll, roll till a couple months later. At least we didn't have to worry about getting a flat head in the back. :silly: Ree723 on "What position do you put your baby to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-position-do-you-put-your-baby-to-sleep#post-2363829 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 18:50:56 +0000 Ree723 2363829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I did back only for my first, but with my second, I let her sleep on her belly from very early on (maybe two weeks old?). She had great head control and slept in a PnP right next to our bed so I just wasn't worried about it. Her sleep improved exponentially and even now, at 21 months old, she rarely sleeps on her back. She just doesn't like it and I'm fine with it. autumnlove on "What position do you put your baby to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-position-do-you-put-your-baby-to-sleep#post-2363760 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 18:18:08 +0000 autumnlove 2363760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Back only for my 3.5 month old. kitty on "What position do you put your baby to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-position-do-you-put-your-baby-to-sleep#post-2363750 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 18:14:25 +0000 kitty 2363750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually put DS on his back but I have just started the baby whisperer shush pat which is obviously easier on his side or tummy. When he is fully asleep I generally roll him to his back but I'm wondering if anyone lets LO sleep on tummy or side? My DS is 12 weeks and can't roll unassisted yet.
