Sleeping on her front

[spambolina]

I have a 5 1/2 month old DD who now wants to sleep permanently on her front. I always knew that she hated being on her back and now that she has worked out how to roll over in her sleeping bag she constantly does this at sleep time, and during the night if I flip her onto her back. I am very worried about the cot death warnings of 'keep you baby on their backs to sleep' and wondered if anyone else can recommend what they have done or should I just accept that this really is the most comfortable position for her, she is nearly 6 months!
Please help.

I think she will be fine to leave on her front now - it was exactly the same for our dd1. She hated being on her back. I think the 'avoid being on the front' warning is for smaller babiies who would not be able to react if their breathing got blocked somehow. I distinctly remember my health visitor saying it would be fine to leave her on her front when she was the same age as your dd.
