Letting Infant Sleep on Tummy

I know that because of SIDS the AAP and other organizations/doctors recommend almost always putting your baby to sleep on their back, except in extreme cases of reflux or other medical problems. With my first daughter, I always put her to sleep on her back, but she learned to roll over to her tummy at about 7 or 8 weeks, and slept much better once she did. With my 7 week old, she has not learned to roll over and does not seem like she's planning to try it anytime soon (like my first did), but I have let her sleep on her stomach a few times...

4 Month Old Won't Sleep in Crib

My baby has always been a great sleeper, even when he first came home from the hospital. We followed the eat, play, sleep routine and he has been sleeping at least 6 hours every night since he was 6 weeks old. He has always slept in his crib at night, but with a foam wedge. He also sleeps with in his crib a couple of times a day for naps. He is now too big for his wedge and it has been keeping him up at night. We removed the wedge two nights ago and my child has not slept since. He is on a solid routine at night, he goes to bed at 10...
