Baby-poll poll Is it okay to put a 4 month old baby to bed on his tummy if he would sleep better that way?
(Baby poll by juno, 959 days ago)
No, definitely not!!!
It depends on how well he can lift his head.
It would probably be fine but why take the chance?
Yes, it's definitely okay!

I never put my son on his tummy. Once he could roll to his tummy, I didn`t roll him back over though.

if your baby isnt turning over on to his or her tummy on their own yet then you should wait. Its recomended that each abby be put to sleep on their back until they can turn on their own (this way they have more motor skills and can turn their head if needed) My daughter started to roll to her tummy at 3 months and i would leave her to sleep that way!

I never let any of my babies sleep on their tummies b/c of the back to sleep campaign, but this lo, well, he`s been sleeping on his tummy from about 6 weeks old. He just slept soooooo good that way, and he could already lift his head up good too. He would actually cry to be put on his tummy! IDK, when I was younger my mom put all my lil bros on their bellies to sleep and that was what was considered the safe way b/c they said if baby was on their back and spit up they could choke, then they changed it. So I guess its all up to what you think is safest/best for your lo.

I`m with xolblondieox. My LO was a tummy sleeper from 4 weeks of age only because she was born with great head control. She sleeps awesome, of course now she rolls but she is like her Daddy, one minute on her tummy, the next her side, then her back, then all the way back to tummy haha.

Well, Back to Bed, Front to Play is what the experts say BUT, I do also know some kids sleep better on their tummies. So, like all these ladies say, if they prefer to sleep on their tummies, they will naturally do that.

  1. What do you think is better (or worse) for kids? TV or video games?
  2. I`m interesed in getting an innotab for my kids. Are the extra downloads pricey? How is the product as a whole?
  3. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.
  4. If you had a `favourable` cervix (started to dilate and soft) did a membrane sweep work for you?
  5. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?
  6. Are your children exposed to two hours or less of TV per day? (This includes when your shows are on and they are awake and around at the same time in the same room)


  7. Just finished making a birthday cake for the first time from our baby girl for her daddys bday tomorrow :o)
  8. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  9. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
