Mom finds that her baby seems to sleep better (and hence mom gets more sleep)
when she puts him to bed on his tummy. She has read all the research about
"back to sleep" but after all, she was put to sleep on her tummy as a baby
and she turned out fine. Since she has made the choice and a well-rested mom is
important for the baby's sense of secruity and well being, then we should
help her feel comfortable with that choice.?
Give me a break!!!

I don't quite think that rises to the level of not using a carseat. Some
babies do not sleep well on their backs, and sleep is important for the baby
also, is it not? My second child slept on his tummy after 3 weeks of not sleeping
well on his back. I found out later that he had reflux. I felt quite
confident that he was safe sleeping on his tummy beside me in his cosleeper. He was
on a firm surface and with no pillows, quilts, etc. Hands up all who let
their child sleep in his position of comfort.
