My 6 month old baby rolls over, wants to sleep on his stomach, i'm worried because his face is down on his mattress, i put him back facing the ceiling, but he backs to the position on his stomach, is anything i can do to prevent this?is it dangerous?

Babies that are able to roll over are at lesser risk of asphyxiation because they can move out of dangerous positions. Make sure there are no pillows, stuffed animals, blankets, etc that he can get tangled up in and he should be fine.
