I put her back on her back, she gives me that gummy grin...I walk out & peak at the monitor & bam, she is on her stomach again. I go back in, flip her back to her back & she rolls back onto her stomach. I gave up this morning & let her sleep on her stomach but I am not sure if that is even ok or not. I know at this point the risk of SIDS is dramatically reduced & my generation slept on our stomachs but being an educated person, knowing why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends back sleeping & being an ER nurse...I just don't feel comfortable with it. Maybe I am the one who is confusing, lol. Last week I was worried she didn't spend enough time on her tummy & now that I can't get her off of it, I am freaking out, lol.
At our baby basics class they told us that once a baby can roll over to their tummy on their own (like you are describing), it isn't a big deal that they sleep on their backs anymore. I think it is because they are strong enough to flip back over if they need to. Not sure if that helps to relieve your mind, but I thought I'd mention it just in case!
