Sleeping on front

For the first time tonight my 7 month old daughter has rolled over and gone to sleep on her tummy should i put her back on her back or leave her?

Thanks in advance.

Leave her - once they can roll and particularly after 6 months the risk of SIDS is much lower. Just make sure there's nothing in the cot if you're worried (well we only had a comforter for DS and he slept in a sleepbag). He flipped onto his front at 5.5 months and we left him.

Yup - fine to leave if she puts herself there - my DD now sleeps much better as she flip onto her front. It's a blessing!

My DD is 6mo and has just started sleeping on her front. I was worried at first but she does sleep so much better now.
