This safe sleep guidance has been around for years and continues to be echoed by sleep experts and the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aap.org\/en\/patient-care\/safe-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)<\/a>, which notes that babies should also be in their own sleep space with no other people, no blankets, and no added materials like stuffies. But you&#8217;ve also probably seen lots of photos of babies sleeping on their tummies all scrunched up like little roast chickens. Plus, Grandma won\u2019t stop talking about how in her day <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/baby-sleep-guide-what-to-expect\/\">babies slept<\/a> however they wanted. So what&#8217;s a new parent to do? We spoke to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nyulangone.org\/doctors\/1356348304\/sara-siddiqui\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Sara Siddiqui,<\/a> a pediatrician at Hassenfeld Children\u2019s Hospital in New York, to find out when babies can safely sleep on their stomachs.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the risks of placing an infant to sleep on their stomach?<\/h2>\n<p>The main reason safe sleep guidelines recommend placing an infant on their back when you <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/baby\/bedtime-routine-sleep-schedule-for-babies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">put them to sleep<\/a> is because it reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). \u201cEvidence suggests that when infants are placed on the stomach to sleep, decreased movements and decreased airflow cause an increase in carbon dioxide near the mouth and nose area, potentially causing respiratory suppression,\u201d Dr. Siddiqui explains. By creating a safe sleep space and placing your baby on their back to sleep, you\u2019re significantly reducing their risk of SIDS\u2014knowledge that should help parents sleep better through the night, too.<\/p>\n<p>Some parents think there are risks associated with back sleeping, like their little ones being more likely to choke if they spit up or to develop flat head syndrome (or plagiocephaly). But both are unfounded, according to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/safetosleep.nichd.nih.gov\/reduce-risk\/back-sleeping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safe to sleep guidelines<\/a> from the National Institute of Health. When babies sleep on their backs, their trachea is positioned above the esophagus, making it hard for fluids to travel against gravity and cause them to choke, whereas on their stomachs the trachea is beneath the esophagus and it&#8217;s easier for fluids to make their way to the lungs. Either way, babies very rarely choke in their sleep. <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/artist-makes-baby-helmets\/\">Flat heads<\/a> are also not a concern if your tot is doing tummy time and moving around during the day\u2014plus, they typically resolve themselves.<\/p>\n<h2>What should you do if your infant rolls onto their stomach at night?<\/h2>\n<p>This is a tough one, because while \u2018back to sleep\u2019 is definitely best, babies will start repositioning themselves at some point\u2014and the answer isn\u2019t necessarily to roll them over every time it happens. If your baby has the strength and coordination to roll one way (from back to stomach), they&#8217;ll soon develop the ability to roll back over again, at which point you can confidently let them sleep in any position they like after placing them down on their back. You can reposition them if you want, but it\u2019s okay to let them move around <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/why-do-babies-cry-in-their-sleep\/\">in their sleep<\/a>. Don\u2019t be tempted by products that claim to keep babies positioned on their backs, as they have not been proven safe and may actually increase risk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not recommend anything in the crib area including bumpers, blankets, sleep positioners, or [weighted] sleep sacks as these could lead to potential suffocation in infants,\u201d Siddiqui says. Non-weighted sleep sacks are fine, she confirms, but any sort of weighted blanket or sleepwear poses a threat to your infant\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n<h2>Should you stop swaddling your baby once they start rolling over?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes\u2014once your baby is on the move, a sleep sack (or a cozy sleeper and no sleep sack) is safer than swaddling, experts agree. The Safe Sleep guidelines advise that you should stop swaddling your infant once they\u2019re able to roll over, reminding parents that swaddling your baby doesn\u2019t actually reduce their risk of SIDS.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/baby-sleep-dos-and-donts\/\">8 Dos &amp; Don&#8217;ts of Baby Sleep (So Everyone Gets More Rest)<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Essentially, once an infant can roll onto their stomach, they need to be able to roll back\u2014something they may not be able to do if restricted by a swaddle blanket. The NIH affirms Siddiqui\u2019s view that parents should avoid weighted sleep sacks and swaddles, which have not been proven safe for use. Not only do these products restrict movement, they may restrict an infant\u2019s ability to breathe by placing added weight on their bodies. This is particularly dangerous because infants\u2019 rib cages are still developing in those early months, which makes it harder for them to expand their chests and breathe properly. The best sleep environment for an infant is one that\u2019s basically empty\u2014just your baby in a crib or bassinet, in their pajamas, with nothing else on or around them.<\/p>\n<h2>So, when exactly can babies sleep on their stomachs?<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s no magic age, but most infants develop the ability to roll from their front to their back when they&#8217;re between four months and six months old (at which point the risk of SIDS drops significantly). You should still place your baby on their back at bedtime, but once they&#8217;ve reached this stage, it&#8217;s normal for them to reposition themselves throughout the night. If you&#8217;ve created a safe sleep environment that follows medical advice, you don&#8217;t need to worry about this movement. We all move in our sleep to find the comfiest position\u2014babies included! The guidelines recommend putting your babe down on their back until their first birthday.<\/p>\n<h2>What other risks should be avoided?<\/h2>\n<p>While \u2018back to sleep\u2019 is the best-known safe sleep strategy, there are other ways parents can reduce risk. In addition to putting babies to sleep on their backs, it\u2019s best to keep them away from secondhand smoke at all times and make sure they aren\u2019t too warm at night, as overheating is thought to contribute to some cases of SIDS. <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/respiratory-viruses-protect-baby-nurse-tips\/\">Respiratory illnesses<\/a> are another potential risk factor, so consider asking visitors if they\u2019ve been unwell recently before letting them get close to your little one.<\/p>\n<p>There are also ways to lower your child\u2019s risk of SIDS by supporting their physical development. \u201cBabies usually learn to roll from stomach to back, and then back to stomach as they become stronger,\u201d Dr. Siddiqui says. \u201cTummy time is essential in this process.\u201d By <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/entertaining-tummy-time-activities-for-baby\/\">practicing tummy time<\/a> with your baby, you\u2019re helping them develop the core strength and coordination they need to roll safely from their stomach to their back. It\u2019s not just about preventing a flat head\u2014it\u2019s also a safe sleep strategy!<\/p>\n<p>And while bed-sharing isn\u2019t recommended, room-sharing is. The Mayo Clinic suggests having your infant <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org\/discussion\/safe-sleep-to-protect-against-sids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sleep in the same room as you<\/a>, but not in the same bed, for a minimum of six months. Exclusively breastfeeding your baby (or giving them pumped breast milk) has also been linked to lower instances of SIDS\u2014the longer you breastfeed, the lower the risk is, though the exact reason is unclear.<\/p>\n<h2>Sweet dreams for baby and parents<\/h2>\n<p>Getting your baby to sleep through the night may be a challenge, but at the end of the day, safe sleep habits are simple: place your infant on a firm, flat surface, avoid loose materials and weighted products, and always remember \u2018back to sleep\u2019 when positioning your child in their crib. If you have additional questions, Dr. Siddiqui suggests reaching out to your family doctor for answers and advice. \u201cIt\u2019s essential to practice safe sleep practices with all infants,\u201d she says. Talk to your child\u2019s care provider, ask those questions, follow medical guidelines, and know that you\u2019re doing a great job creating a safe sleep space for your baby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even when they go down on their backs, babies eventually start to roll around in their sleep.
