I would roll him over unless your baby is the one that keep rolling back on his tummy. If that's the case, leave him to be. If not, roll him back on his back.

One day, you're a horrible mother if you lay your kid on his tummy. The next day, you're a horrible mother if you lay your kid on his back. "Rules" change all of the time. These experts come up with new policy and guidelines every day of the week.
If a baby is content on his tummy, and there are no soft articles (blankets, toys, stuffed animals, etc.) to get in the way of his breathing, then just leave him be.
You'll drive yourself crazy if you try to follow every single rule put out to the public.
When my grandson was born ( 10 weeks old now ) they told my daughter in the hospital NOT to put him down to sleep on his tummy. I was there when they told her that, they even showed her how she could lay him on his side with his head raise up if he was not happy sleeping on his back. I would ask your baby doctor, do not take a chance with your child.

Exactly... I wish they would explain to me how me putting my child on his tummy to sleep is bad but if the baby rolls over on its tummy himself then it is ok

The reasoning behind that is if the baby is strong enough roll himself over onto his tummy, he can roll himself over onto his back if he's having difficulty breathing.

I'm guessing because if the baby can roll over by itself, it will roll over if it starts to smother. :shrug: Just a guess. :shrug:

My baby, my rules. Don't like it? You'll never be left alone with your grandchild. Hubby WILL back me up.

My daughter trust me enough to let me take my grandson to church with us twice now. It would break my heart if she talked to me like that or even thought I would do something to hurt my grandson. I love him as if I had given birth to him myself. But I am concerned about who will be taking care of him when she returns to work. I believe it will be his other Grandmother that is not working right now and I am OK with that.

Act in the best interest of your child - go and roll him over. Now, with that having been said, NEVER, EVER WALK ON EGG SHELLS IN YOUR OWN HOME!
Agreed.
If it REALY bothers you turn him over and ask her to do the same in the future.
Very soon it won't matter how he lays, he'll turn over when he wants.
My daughter laid on her tummy, she wouldn't sleep otherwise.
