So tummy sleepers they were and they slept so much better than my back sleepers. No startling themselves awake, no blankets falling off, etc. My pediatrician told me as long as they are sleeping let them sleep how ever they are comfortable. I did find that my tummy sleepers were earlier crawlers though...sometimes good and sometimes bad.Rachelhttp://our-domestic-church.xanga.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-54731508644276281672009-12-05T16:18:29.649-06:002009-12-05T16:18:29.649-06:00Mine sleep on tummies, too.

Ditto. Ditto. My first, a small baby, started flipping to her tummy pretty soon. I would also wrap them up tight and kind of stuff them up beside the bumper of the bed. This put them a little on their side. I never got one of those triangle thingies. After the first two the twins pretty much did what they wanted to. They slept on their tummies alot. The tough part was they would always look at each other. It didn't matter what side you put them on they would turn to look at each other. It's sad when a baby spits up in the night and you just have to wash his mouth but give the other one a full blown bath. :) <br />Big Ditto on the praying. When I lost the battle with keeping Audrey on her back I simply prayed for God to send his angel to watch her and protect her. Thy Will Be Done. <br />One more thing. THey also slept well in their bouncies and swings.Herd Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835515160761024178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-72507245223416338592009-12-05T08:29:23.475-06:002009-12-05T08:29:23.475-06:00Of my three, I had two tummy sleepers.

If you are worried about sids, try putting your sweet baby in a sleep sack. That way she can't suffocate under blankets.

Go figure. All of my slept on their tummies and are now in their adulthood. No problems. If she sleeps so well that way, she must be comfortable.<br />She is so precious.

Otherwise they are up every 2 hours to eat around the clock.<br />They stay warmer, toot well (oops - fart, Christine :), the spit up goes out easier (no choking) and the blankies stay on to keep them warm.<br />A doc once told me that babies will tend to roll on their tummies to sleep when they are able and also that babies have been sleeping on their tummies for millenia. Good nuff for me! I have always have said a prayer laying them down and trust their guardian angels will do the rest! :) SO glad to hear sweet angel is sleeping so well!!! I've been praying for you both!Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-15591424903390649652009-12-04T15:23:32.911-06:002009-12-04T15:23:32.911-06:00Of my sister's 7, only the last was a baby for...Of my sister's 7, only the last was a baby for back to sleep.
