Tummy sleeping help please?

[sheebee]

Ds2 is 5.5 months old. Always settles himself for naps and bedtime. Tonight he has fallen asleep on his tummy, the only problem is he can only roll from back to tummy not tummy to back. I have rolled him onto his back 3 times already this evening and he has woken up, rolled himself back onto his tummy, and fallen asleep again each time.

What should I do? Do I need to roll him back (and poss wake him)/each time?

Thanks in advance!

I'm no expert but I'd say you shouldn't have to worry about it so much at this age...

We had the same thing with our daughter! We would either be worried and roll her or she might cry a little because she was stuck. After a couple of weeks we left her to it to be honest and now she rolls all over the place in the night. I think as long as their face is to the side they should be ok? Just going on personal experience though

Thanks guys! I kept checking on him but he was fine! popped him on his back after the first feed and he rolled onto his side but didn't go any further!
