My son is now 19 months and has pretty much been a tummy sleeper
since 7.5 months. I do not go in and move him (even if he is
sleeping in a pac n play). The first few times he slept on his
tummy, I couldn't sleep but now I know that is how he likes to sleep
and if I were to flip him (even back at 7.5 months) then he'd be
awake and no one would be getting sleep. Honestly, I wouldn't worry
but if it makes you feel better then keep flipping him. Pac and Play
mattresses are perfectly safe.
