A member asked:
I lay my 6 month old to sleep on his back. he ends up rolling over to his side. is this ok or do i need to move him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let him be: After a kid develops this rolling ability he is at least past the age where he is really vulnerable.We encourage back sleeping from the beginning & hope the kid is happy with it for the first year, but by 6 m you can relax.Put him down as you do, but let him sleep whatever way he decides.
