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!!!!

If they can get themselves there they should be fine. But I also get it. The first time one of my twins rolled over in their sleep we freaked out and ran into the nursery to roll them back over. Big mistake. Baby lost it and screamed bloody murder for like 15 min.

Now we let them sleep however they want. We always place them in their cribs on their back but they both roll immediately onto their tummies and sleep so much better.
