The baby is 5.5 months old and rolls over onto their stomach at night and sleeps, which really scares me. Girls, tell me about yours... is this normal? Will nothing happen?

Yes, this is absolutely normal behavior for a child of this age. When a baby starts to move actively in their sleep, they may turn onto their stomach independently. This is related to the development of their muscular system and a desire to explore new body positions. If your child sleeps on their stomach and is comfortable, there is no need to worry. However, it is always important to ensure the safety of the baby's sleep. Make sure the crib is safe, does not contain soft pillows, blankets, or other items that could obstruct the child's breathing. It is also recommended to sleep on the back until the age of one to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. If you have any doubts or concerns, it is always better to consult with a doctor or pediatrician. But overall, turning onto the stomach in sleep at 5.5 months is normal behavior and should not cause alarm.

Well, he's a person too, albeit a small one, and he also wants to sleep comfortably and cozily, why are you scared ? If he's learned to roll over, everything is fine, he won't suffocate, children have a very strong instinct. Now he'll just keep rolling over like that. Just make sure there are no extra cloths in the crib - blankets, little quilts, etc. It's better to dress him warmer.

I've been dealing with this since he was 5 months old. Initially, I would flip him over once he fell into a deep sleep. Later, I just started to observe; if he buried his nose too deeply into the mattress, he would turn over by himself.

Ours does the same thing, flips over and sleeps. At first, it was also scary, but I watched her, she always turns her head to the side, so everything is fine, don't worry.

Okay. The only condition is that there should be nothing in the child's bed except for a sheet.
