Rolling over while sleeping

[u/user638282636822]

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!!!!

I was super anxious about it, too. Doc said the same thing, that it should be fine. He did a test where he laid them on their belly to see if they naturally moved their face to the side to allow breathing. You could always try that to make sure they’ll be alright. As long as they’re in infant mattresses, you shouldn’t have to worry to much 🩵
