: My baby is (almost 6 months old) has started rolling to her stomach and back in her sleep and last night for the first time she slept on her tummy for a while. I am not sure if I should let her sleep on her tummy - rolling her over every time she rolls to her stomack would be impossible I know but just wanted to make sure that that is the right thing to do. I read somewhere that it is ok if she does it herself but wanted to make sure.
: thanks

As soon as they can do it themselves they are all right to tummy sleep. By then they are strong enough to get themselves out of trouble. As soon as my daughter could she would roll over as soon as I put her down. My son is 3 months old and hates to sleep on his back. As soon as he was strong enough to lift his head we decided to put him down on his tummy. He now sleeps up to 8 hours before needing a bottle. Good luck, and don't worry too much.
