Safe for 10 month old to sleep on tummy?

Hi all
DD has always been a great sleeper but has started taking forever to get to sleep at night. Last night it took 2 hours!
I watched her for a bit and she seemed to settle herself when she was lying on her side. However this meant she was flipping onto her tummy which made me nervous!
Is it ok for her to sleep like this at this age?! She's got reflux so I think it must be more comfortable on her side/tummy, but I could be way off!

It's deemed generally safe of they can roll back. 10 months you can't stop them tbh.

I had two tummy sleepers from a very young age

DS (7.5mo) has taken to sleeping on his tummy since about 6mo. I was really worried at the start but he sleeps much more peacefully and he can roll without a bother so I think it's ok.

In the beginning we were flipping him back all the time but he just kept going back to his tummy.

Is safe, they can roll over at this age so you cant control how they sleep. Don't worry :0)
