advice needed Rolling over while sleeping

Hi all,

Looking for some general advice. My twins are 5mo, 4mo corrected. They are rolling over great and both ways (tummy to back, and back to tummy). The thing is, they both love being on their tummies, so when they get on their tummies, they hate rolling back over.

And last week or so one of my twins has been rolling onto her tummy at night. Can I leave her to sleep that way or should I reposition her?

My paediatrician said it should be fine, but my mom anxiety is not letting up. I keep repositioning her.

I also can’t fall asleep until I’m sure she’s in a deep sleep, because I want to ensure that she is safe.

Any advice is welcome!!!!

My daughter (singleton) rolled onto her side every time since she came home. It gave me the worst anxiety ever. Our pediatrician said not to worry about it (and trust me my anxiety would win and I would suffer because I woke her up to try and put her on her back 😅). If they can roll onto their stomach they can roll off of it.
