You definitely need to inquire further. It's possible she rolled herself onto her stomach to sleep and when they do that it's usually ok. My daughter started rolling onto her stomach to sleep at 4 months, but even at 17 months I still ALWAYS put her down to sleep on her back first. If she rolls over, fine. But you still should make it clear to the provider that she needs to be put down on her back to start.

If the daycare provider is putting her down on her stomach you need to address it NOW. I am in now way trying to scare you but babies are far more likely to die of SIDS and other breathing issues if they are used to sleeping on their backs and are put on their stomachs to sleep. I would also adress the blankets because they are also dangerous since she is not used to sleeping with them.

It's a difficult situation, I know, but you will not be able to rest easy with your daughter there until you know she is being cared for properly.

I would just make sure that she's not being put down to sleep on her stomach. That would be reason for concern.
My dd is 16m old and she just recently, within the past two months or so, started sleeping on her stomach - by rolling onto her stomach herself. We still put her in on her back, though, now sometimes we'll put her on her side if she's not sleeping to well.

My daughter slept on her stomach from 2 months on. She was extremley gassy and irritable and the only way she slept for more then ten minutes was on her back. By 4 months she was rolling and immediatley rolled onto her belly. She's now 14 months and will only sleep on her stomach. She also slept with blankets from birth.

I would ask about it if it concerns you. Maybe they meant when she's on her back she sleeps lighter until she rolls herself over. Also, if the blankets bother you it shouldn't be a problem for them to stop putting them in with her so I would mention that too. Or, if you want to and can, make a 'suprise' show up at the daycare during naptime and take a peek for yourself.

I agree with talking to them about it. Ive always heard if they sleep on their stomach SIDS could occur. If you are worried about offending them bring it up in a different way, say your doc sent some information home with you about the effects of baby sleeping on stomach, or that you read it online and you would perfer her to sleep on her back with no blanket.

I would ask them about it. I know when my ds was just a week old I was giving him some tummy time and he fell asleep like that. I didn't move him because I was right next to him watching him the whole time. Maybe your dd did something similar. I wouldn't freak out until you get all the facts because it could be nothing to worry about. I hope everything works out.

I think you've gotten some good responses here. I too would address it. If a baby is laid down on their back & turns over on their own their is less chance of SIDS but it is best to try to instill the back sleeping habit by putting them on their back. Just address it gently so the care provider remains open & honest and doesn't get defensive. You can simply say you read an article and wanted to make sure you were on the same page: back to sleep and no blankets (if that is what you want).

As a mommy of a baby that has passed from Sids - I would def speak up. As others have mentioned if she is rolling over onto here belly while she is sleeping I wouldn't be too concerned. But I would tell them you would like her laid down on her back first. Ultimately I am not sure that sleeping on their tummy really has that much to do with Sids but as mommies we all want to know we did what we could to prevent something bad from ever happening to our babies. As for Charity6262 's comment just fyi Sids can happen when your sitting right next to your baby. You can watch them take their last breath and there is nothing you can do. You can not resuscitate them. It's not suffocation as many people believe. So my opinion is if your her Mother and something is bothering you - absolutely speak up.
