 Topic: Front sleeping

Hi bubs is 8 months 1 week and is now getting herself onto her tummy while sleeping. She is still wrapped as she sleeps better but most nights hands escape. She also has a Sleep T Wrap. Is it safe for her to be on her tummy??? She can lift her head up quite well so I am guessing she won't get into trouble!

Lauren was a tummy sleeper from 6 months old, she slept alot better so there was no way I was going to put her back on her back!
I think at 8 months she would be fine!!

Yeah Jakes always been more comfy on his tummy. I wrapped him more loosely though just to be careful.

Natalie is a tummy sleeper, and has been since 6/7 months - however, she was never wrapped while on her tummy. As Babe said, I would probably loosen the wrap (and SafeTsleep), so if she wants to turn over then she can.

Arianne has slept on her tummy for the first time she was happy as larry, she also has fallen asleep on her side now.
Must be the babies saying they are sick of being on their backs and prefer other positions.

Alia always sleeps on her tummy, did as soon as she could roll. I just had her in a sleeping bag thingy that goes over the shoulders so when she rolled around she didn't loose her covers.

Perhaps you could wean her off the safety sleep and being wrapped if you are worried about constricted movement. Spencer started sleeping on his tummy at around 11 months when I stopped using the safety sleep. Now he sleeps on his tummy with his head buried under his blanket 
They say it is fine once they can roll, but obviously that might be a problem if she is wrapped etc, although I assume she must roll to get on her tummy in the first place.

Joel started rolling to sleep on his tummy at about 6 months, so I just put him down on his tummy and did the safety sleep up, he sleeps all night and has no proplems, and never loses the blankets. Leah was the same at her age as well.

yep as the others said, baby should be fine now on tummy, but you would be best to get a sleeping bag or alike as they can get twisted up in the swaddling wrap and it can come up over their face/head and become a suffocation risk so a sleeping bag is a safer option ;)
all the best!
