Tummy Sleeping

Does anybody elses baby tummy sleeps? 

I find Liane sleeps longer and better, is more settled and is not easy to startle on her belly than when she is on her back. We started flipping her when she was 2 days old and it has been her preferred and only sleeping position since. The perfect head shape is a bonus!

I was worried about the SIDS risk although I understand it is reduced as the baby becomes older. 

Bubbah has always been advance in her milestones, she could turn her head from side to side at 2 days old, would sometimes flip from tummy to back at 6 weeks with a lot of effort from her end an to our surprise the next time we check her, could support her head, neck and chest at 8 weeks and  flips from her back to her tummy and back again seamlessly and  "army crawls" at 12 weeks.

I'd love to know your thoughts on tummy sleeping vs the back 2 sleep campaign? Would you risk it?
