Baby sleeping face down - anxious ftm
My boy is almost 7 months old. We switched him to a floor bed about a month ago and it has been SO helpful. His sleep has been improving so much.
BUT: Last night, he suddenly decided he likes to sleep with his face pressed down into the mattress.
I know everyone says if they can roll into that position, that they are fine and do not need to be moved. But since he is no longer in a crib mattress that is specifically designed for things like this… I’m freaking out about it. I’m an anxious wreck.
We used to use the Owlet sock, which would ease my worry with this A LOT, but it kept leaving marks on his foot and we had so many false alarms. It just became too problematic so we stopped using it.
He can roll both ways perfectly well. I’m just a terrified FTM.
Is this okay? Do I need to move him back to a crib mattress?
