FAQ Sleep 3-6 months

Is it safe for my 4-month-old to sleep on their stomach?

While it is standard practice to place babies on their back for sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS, it is very common for babies to roll onto their stomachs once they develop the motor skills to do so. If your baby is rolling over independently, you do not need to flip them back, but ensure their sleeping area is firm and free of blankets, pillows, or toys. Always focus on supervised tummy time during the day to build the necessary strength.
