Sleeping Pattern
My baby is 4 and half months. From past few days we are observing flipping from back sleeping position to stomach/tommy sleeping position. Everytime we are keeping her in back sleeping position then after 2-3 minutes she is flipping to tommy sleeping position. Is it normal or should we avoid tommy sleeping position. Kindly advise .
