When Can Babies Sleep On Their Stomach (Q&A) | Kopa Birth® from www.kopabirth.com
The risk of sids peaks between 1 and 4 months of age but remains a threat until babies are 12 months. The infant can bury his face in the pillow or blanket, block the access of air, and suffocate. Your baby is going to sleep however he or she wants to!
At around six months of age, your baby could roll over to his tummy or the side from the back position.
Once babies consistently roll over from front to back and back to front, it's fine for them to remain in the sleep position they choose. Always put your baby on their back to sleep. Always place your baby on his or her back to sleep, not on the stomach or side. This can lead to an overabundance of carbon dioxide and oxygen starvation.
