Well, Logan has always been a back sleeper - hands in the air in the field goal position and all. Once when he was around a month old or so he took a few naps on his tummy, but other than that he has not cared for it - and quite frankly John and I liked it that way.
In the last month every time I put Logan down for a nap/bed he immediately rolled to his side - okay, no biggie. However, the last few days he has taken it to the extreme - he rolls over onto his tummy. During this process he usually loses his pacifier and then gets all ticked off. As soon as I put his pacifier back in though, he falls asleep. John and I are not huge fans of this new sleep position as we'll notice on the video monitor that he sometimes puts his head straight down (not leaning towards one side or the other). He puts his head on his arms. We can still hear him breathing just fine....it just makes us nervous. We have gone in and turned his head to one side or flipped him onto his back.
I know a lot of kids do sleep on their stomachs and I do know that the risk of SIDS has decreased with his age....and we will get used to it. But for now we still remain a bit nervous.
An upside to his new sleeping position is that when he is waking up he will get into a crawl position - on all 4's and move back and forth while staying still...this is wonderful! He does this in his bed or on our bed. However, when on any other surface he only gets in that position every so often. He usually ends up scooting backwards. :)
Before we know it, he'll be crawling...ah! Oh boy, how things will change then!
