Dylan does not like sleeping on his back and never sleeps for more than 2 hours at most.well last night i tried him on his tummy anjd he actually slept 12-9am!!!!!! waking for a feed only once at 5.30. we've all had a great day because we are better rested.
he was also in bed with me. can i do this or is tummy, co sleeping dangerous? ( im following the co-sleeping rules). i know he should be on his back but in bed with me surely its better as he can follow my breathing? that sleep was amazing hes so much happier on his tummy and the benefits stretch to all of us but obviously if its risky i wont do it.
what do u think?

I think the main reason you're advised against it is because they go into a much deeper sleep on their tummy. We always made sure she was on her back when we were co-sleeping because I didn't want to risk it. She does choose to sleep on her tummy now, though (though she's a good bit older than your LO) but she can get there and back herself.
