Does anybody else let their babies sleep on their tummy? My son will be 4 weeks tomorrow and it seems like the only way to get him to sleep at night is putting him on his tummy. He sleeps next to me so I just let it be since he has good head and neck control.

I say do what works for you. I didn't plan on cosleeping, but it's the only way my son will sleep for 4-5 hours.

@jgled000, true it's the best for us since I breastfeed and he wakes up every 3-4 hours to eat. He loves sleeping on his tummy too and I'm not stressing about it and just let him do it lol

Your discretion of course. I wouldn't if my baby didn't have good neck control. But you know your baby so do what you believe best.My oldest 2 slept on there tummies from birth. They slept on there backs occasionally.

@mamakimmi, he definitely has good neck control for a 4 week old! Lifts his head up when he's on his tummy and can move it side to side when he's sleeping.

My daughter is the same way but it's the only way we'll both get any sleep! She's 7 weeks. I was scared & I still am but as long as you watch them, it should be fine!
