It's only dangerous for them to sleep on their stomach if they can't get off it. I wouldn't buy a sleeping positioner unless there's a medical reason for it. How would _you_ like to be wedged into a sleeping position so you couldn't roll over?<br><b>References : </b><br> If your baby can roll over, it’s fine for them to sleep any way up they like.

It's recommended they sleep on their back to reduce the risk of SIDS, but once baby can roll, they will move to wherever is comfy. I had the unfortunate event of my son falling asleeping during tummy time at 8 weeks, and since then, he flat our right refuses to sleep on his back. Bless him, stressing me to tears. If your baby can roll, then I wouldn't worry with the positioner :) xx<br><b>References : </b><br>Edit- my son is now nearly 5 and half months and can roll.

For the longest time, it was said that babies need to sleep on their tummies to prevent SIDS...which came from baby aspirating (throwing up and it going back down their throat and choking them) and if baby was on his/her tummy and threw up, there would be no way that they could choke and die. Now they say back sleeping reduces SIDS...for some reason that is totally unknown. They say that if baby is on their back, then the likelihood of them suffocating in their sleep is greatly reduced...So the real answer is whatever makes you as a mother and your baby feel comfortable. If baby wishes to sleep on their tummy, fine, let them...just be sure not to have anything except their blanket in the crib or bassinet to reduce to likelihood of suffocation. My baby has reflux (is now 4 months old) and even his pediatrician said that tummy sleeping is good for babies w/digestive system issues cause it puts pressure on the belly and helps to relieve gas and other tummy upsets. Don't listen to this whole SIDS thing...for crying out loud, it's a marketing ploy!!! And a good one too!!! They even make pacifiers that reduce SIDS...how the heck can a pacifier reduce SIDS?! It's just not possible. You do whatever you feel as a mom is the right thing to do. There are hundreds of thousands of parents who let their babies sleep on their tummies and none of them are dying!!! If baby is comfortable, essentially mommy will be comfortable too...just trust your mom instincts :)<br><b>References : </b><br> Okay…so this is a controversial question really…here’s why.

It is against recommendation from SIDS but I think if the baby can roll and have strong head movement then its OK to leave them to sleep on their tummy. Most babies likes sleeping on their tummy.<br><b>References : </b><br> It depends on how old the baby is.
