My girl is 4 months as well. She has been rolling both ways for a little over a month now and ever since then, she has slept on her tummy. I always put her down on her back but she immediately flips to her side/stomach before I even move my hands away lol she gets much better sleep if I just let her do it how she wants 🤷🏻‍♀️

@watsons20139 I really hate that they push it so hard... A girl I was in a birthing class with, the first time around, called me literally in tears when her son kept rolling onto his tummy. She would roll him back onto his back and that would wake him up. I told her to just let him sleep on his tummy, if that's how he's adjusting himself. As long as there's nothing by their faces, it should be okay. I understand SIDS is real. People just need to be more educated about it.

okay thanks ladies .

They push SIDS so much that I'm scared to let him sleep any other way other than his back

Totally fine. Both of my children slept on their bellies since day 1.

#momlifechats Moms,

#momlifechats Moms, Welcome to #momlifechats! We’re so excited to welcome Infant & Child Sleep Consultant Hailee Schollaardt (@nurturingsleepsolutions). Hailee has been a Certified Sleep Consultant for 3.5 years. She has 3 kids aged 4.5 years, 2.5 years and 6 months and knows all too well the difficulties of a non-sleeping baby. “My first baby was 11 months old before he slept his first 2 hour stretch (It was a wednesday) and since then I became obsessed with learning about sleep!” Hailee classifies herself as more of a gentle sleep coach and encourages parents to do what works best for their own family. “Always advocate for your family and your baby! After all, you know them best!” She has worked with many families and loves providing tools to help improve sleep for every family she meets. Healthy Sleep equals Happy Families! Hailee’s top 3 sleep tips: 1.) Create a baby cave! The body is cued by light levels and so darkness in the room environment is so important. We want that room to be pitch black if we can. This helps newborns feel at home (in the womb) and it help’s older babies produce sleep hormones. 2.) Use white noise. This is my “must have” in any sleep space. It helps newborns feel at home because it sounds like the womb and it helps older babies to cycle through sleep cycles. Use a constant sound such as static, heavy rainfall or a vacuum. Make sure it does not turn off after a certain interval as we want it to be playing the whole time to help those sleep cycles! 3.) Build strong routines. This is not the same as a schedule. A routine is just the steps you do before putting your baby down to sleep. Each step in that routine triggers the brain to release sleep hormones. Essentially, it acts as your baby’s clock telling the body what time it is… sleep time! Inconsistent sleep routines can lead to inconsistent sleep!
