SIDS also peeks at 2-4 months so to say taht she can roll over she is safe I wouldn't go that far. I had in a little wedge thing wll past 4 months so he coudln't roll over while he was sleeping. The rate of SIDS has gone done so much since the back to sleep campain has been out that there isn't a dought in my mind that some of the baby's died needlessly due to tummy sleeping. I woudl say I am not trying to scare anyone. But you should be worried. My comfort leave doesn't allow me to do anythign that would put my baby at a great danger of being hurt or killed. I knwo some parents are less causious but I know I could NEVR forgive myslef if somthign happened to and it was somthing I could have prevented. I guess taht is why we have every form of child proofing possable and I never take my eyes off of him. But hey he's safe. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you're making it seem that those of us who have or do allow our babies to sleep on their tummies are " less cautious " or even careless.....We (people) always think our way is the best way so just remember to speak from your experiences without making others feel negligent. I said earlier that I do agree with the back or side position for sleeping so I'm not disagreeing that it probably has saved many lives of babies, just that it doesn't always work out that way for some of us. I'm a VERY cautious and conscientious mother and also would never, ever do anything to harm my baby--but he has to sleep....
