Okay so the doctors say to only lay a baby on there back. Peyton was fighting a nap literally all morning. She finally…

@capricorn_mommy_14, On the tummy for a nap while being supervised is fine. I would just be worried that would make it more difficult for baby to fall asleep on their back at night.

My personal opinion (and that's all it is - an opinion) is that if you're supervising baby closely during her nap on her tummy, that's fine because you can watch for potential airway obstructions.

@capricorn_mommy_14, I’ve done it as well while I was right there to watch over. With my first they said to have him on his stomach and by my third it had all changed.

I’m not talking bout letting her sleep on her stomach during the night or all the time. I’m just saying while she’s napping right next to me every once in awhile

My daughter slept on her stomach as soon as she gained control of her head. It's my opinion that the fear of SIDS keeps way too many mother's up at night and end up keeping our children up too because we make them uncomfortable while trying to do what we think is best for them.

I swaddle her but she has a habit of trying to bust out of it

I found that swaddle helped my girl sleep comfortably on her back. Otherwise, she fussed to be on stomach. I feared SIDS too much to let her sleep on stomach but that's a choice you will have to make. Once she was able to roll she's become a stomach sleeper.

Stomach is ok once they can roll back and forward themselves. It used to be normal to place babies on their tummy but contributed to higher rates of SIDS as @ek620, said.

Do you swaddle?

The rate of SIDS dropped by about 50% once people started placing their babies on their backs to sleep. I was too worried about SIDS to let my son sleep on his stomach until he could roll.
