rolling over

My LO will be 4 months old next week. He has been rolling over from back to belly...A great milestone!

However, now when he goes into his crib, he loves to roll over and sleep on his belly. The problem is, he can't really roll back over on to his back. He has only done that a few times.

I am in a panic because the last few nights, I have woken up in the middle of the night to find him laying on his belly! Is this OK? I get so nervous with all the SIDS talk..I removed the bumpers, but I'm so nervous he can still suffocate..am I overreacting???

TIA

Re: rolling over

It's fine. If he's strong enough to roll over, he's strong enough to pick his head up should he find himself in a position where it's hard to breathe. My DD went through this last month and every mom and every book told me not to worry. But of course I didn't sleep at all for days so I could run to her crib and put my ear next to her face to listen for breathing.
