what if baby rolls on stomach while sleeping

If a baby rolls over while sleeping, it is generally safe to leave them in that position as long as their arms are free. However, it is important to note that the safest sleep position for babies is on their back, as this reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) . If a baby is consistently and intentionally rolling over in both directions, tummy to back and back to tummy, it is safe to leave them in their preferred sleeping position. However, if a baby is not consistently and intentionally rolling yet but somehow ends up on their tummy while sleeping, it is recommended to gently put them back on their back. If a baby wakes up and gets upset when they roll onto their tummy, there are a few things parents can do to help them through this stage and get a better nights sleep again, such as shushing them while rolling them to help them resettle back to sleep. It is important to note that all babies develop at their own rate, and if parents are concerned about their baby not hitting their developmental milestones, they should reach out to their healthcare provider.
