4.5 months for charlie. they figure it out pretty quickly. and once they start sleeping on their tummies, they often start sleeping better!

As soon as he started rolling onto his belly by himself we let him at night (2 weeks ago). We've let him nap in his belly starting around 3.5 months but kept an eye on him.

Our LO still doesn't roll onto her stomach at night at 6.5 months, but the advice we were given from the community health nurse is that it's fine to leave them as soon as they can get there themselves.

I wouldn't until she did it without fussing personally and could roll back herself so I knew it was intentional.

Probably 5.5-6 months, whenever we moved him into his crib. He slept on his back/side when he co-bedded with us, but as soon as we moved him he immediately went onto his stomach. But he had excellent head control and could roll well back and forth so I just held my breath and let him.

Around 3.5 months when he started to roll. It was impossible to keep him on his back, and he slept much better on his stomach. The first night was nerve wrecking though.

whenever he started flipping on his own, i let him stay that way (unless he was crying and wanted to be flipped back, which was a short phase)--i think that was around 4 or 5 months. the pediatrician ok'd it and frankly i had no interest in continually rolling him back over--sleep was so touch and go at that point, i think i would have cried if someone told me i had to repeatedly go in and manipulate my baby and risk waking him up multiple times. god no.

Surprisingly, D rolled stomach to back much earlier than back to stomach, so when he started rolling onto his tummy during the night, I let him go. I knew he could flip himself over already. That was probably....5-6 months?
