@lawbee11: B went through the exact same phase. I only had to flip him for a week or two, luckily. He is a tummy sleeper now.

LO just turned 5 months the other day. About a week ago he start rolling onto his side to sleep. Then last night he rolled onto his stomach and slept with his butt in the air for most of the night. He went from sleeping 2-3 hours to 7 hours before waking, then sleeping for another 5 hours! It was fantastic. Tonight he rolled onto his tummy and felt asleep after a bit of whining and a lullaby.

My LO became a tummy sleeper around 6 months. At first a he would freak out if we laid her on her back. Then she started rolling to her side as soon as we put her down, and normally she would be on her tummy in the morning. Now she rolls right over when we put her down. She never really got upset if she woke up on her belly though...

I think he started around 6 months. It was after we swaddle weaned. He went thru a period of screaming bc he couldn't roll back; that lasted about 2 wks and then he was a side or tummy sleeper.

@lawbee11: I usually waited a few minutes to see if he would fall back asleep on his own but I usually ended up flipping him. It was a short lived phase though. Once he realized that he liked being on his tummy he began sleeping much better.

@lawbee11: So, just to clarify... can she not flip belly to back on her own? Sadie flipped back to belly first, and I used a rolled up A+A under each of her armpits to keep her from rolling. Once she learned to flip belly to back (which was like 1.5 later), I took the blankets out and let her do her thang.

@lawbee11: I should note that I didn't flip him out of concern, I flipped because he freaked. the. eff. out. He knew how to roll belly-to-back during the day but he would wake up in a panic and couldn't figure out how to do it at night. It was really bizarre.
