: I PUT MY 5 MONTH OLD DOWN TO SLEEP ON HER BACK. WHEN I GO TO CHECK ON HER SHE HAS ROLLED TO HER STOMACH. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A NIGHT. DO I NEED TO KEEP SWITCHING HER BACK TO HER BACK? OR SHOULD I JUST NOT WORRY ABOUT IT. I KNOW BABIES ARE SAFER SLEEPING ON THEIR BACK BECAUSE OF THE THREAT OF SIDS, BUT IS SHE PAST THE AGE WHEN SIDS IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR?

DON'T WORRIE ABOUT IT IF YOUR BABY HAS THE STRENGTH TO MOVE AROUND, SHE WON'T PUT HER SELF IN A DANGEROUS POSITION IF ANYTHING SHE IS JUST EXPLORING HOW MUCH BETTER IT IS TO SLEEP ON HER TUMMY ! MY DAUGHTER IS 8 MONTHS, SHE ROLLS ALL OVER THE PLACE (THERE TUFFER THAN YOU THINK)
