Hi Emma
I'm constantly checking my ten-week-old is still breathing so I know what that worry feels like, even though she can't roll over yet.
If it makes you feel better, I read somewhere that tummy sleeping is only very marginally more risky than back sleeping for SIDS though obviously you want the lowest risk possible. But ... it's not like your baby is at much higher risk of SIDS simply from tummy sleeping IYKWIM.
Infact, they used to tell parents to put babies to sleep on their tummy to lessen the chances of them choking on their spew.
In another couple of years the experts will probably find that back sleeping increases the chances of something else and tell us to put babies on their tummy again!
It is very hard not to worry though, isn't it?
