well my DD2 is a tummy sleeper. during the day i dont mind cause i go and check on her frequently and when she was little she used have her main bed time sleep around midnight so i would just put her into bed with us from the beginning. however, now she is going down around 9 for an hour or so (well most times) and sometimes i would just like to go to bed myself and leave her in her cot. i am a bit nervous though cause of her being on her tummy and i wont be able to check on her while i am asleep. so i usually just go and pick her up out of her cot and bring her in with me wheni go to bed. when we are in bed together she alternates between tummy sleeping and side sleeping and very rarely on her back.
do you think that it is safe to leave her unsupervised on her tummy? she is very strong and can roll from front to back and back to front. she pushes right up on her arms so they are fully extended. she moves about the cot and floor by pushing and pulling her self.
they say that its ok when find their own sleeping position, however my DD2 wont fall asleep by herself so its not like i put her down awake and she rolls over and falls asleep by herself. its more she falls asleep on me and i put her on her tummy. but she is really good at rolling over.
is there an age where tummy sleeping is considered a bit more safe? or is it a no go all the time.
