Whilst obviously the SIDS reccomendations are there for a reason and it's 'less safe' on their tummy, I know how tricky it can be to change this and in our case, just went with it. I was pretty apprehensive abt letting DD tummy-sleep at first so bought an angel care monitor for peace of mind. I just got used to it after a while though and stopped using the monitor at abt 8 months I think. There is NO WAY DD would sleep on her back at home, but weirdly, she sleeps on her back at childcare fine. Funny little people! GL
I wouldn't be too worried as long as he has good head control and can roll freely by himself. Make sure he is not sleeping with a soft toy or loose blanket though, to make sure he can't get all tangled up. When my kids started sleeping on their tummy I put them into sleepsuits or sleeping bags rather than using sheets.
Thanks girls!
He is able to roll both ways and he sleeps with his head to the side so his face isn't obstructed. Of a day I probably don't mind soo much because I can keep an eye on him.
Shell - I have one of the sleep positioners but he doesn't like it that much because he can't move
Traveller - doesn't sleep with any toys etc... his sheet is tucked in so he can't really get tangled up in it... although he can get out of his wrap sometimes and I will go into him of a morning all tangled up
The other thing I have noticed is that if he doesn't sleep on his tummy, he likes to pull a blanket/sheet up over his cheek???
