How's her head control? Is she pushing up on her arms? Honestly, when we hit this point I just sat on the floor with baby and encouraged her to learn to roll over. (We started on her side with toys that she needed to roll to reach. then from back to side to reach. Then we put it together to back to front to reach.) Once she rolled over, tummy sleeping it was.

It is. They say that when the baby is on his/back and s/he throws up, they can choke if they don’t know to put their head to the side.

after 5 minutes on her stomach she cries bloody murder also but I make sure to be eye level and she definitely spends a nice amount of tummy time through the day |
I put her on her side so she wasn’t steady and then encouraged her to tip herself by putting a toy or paci or my hand far enough away that she tipped herself reaching. Similarly back to side you put a toy above and to the side so she has to roll a bit to reach it

Another reason why back sleeping is problematic is that it delays development. Babies are slower to learn to control head/neck, slower to crawl, sit and walk. Also can make flat head from laying on back so much and need a "helmet" to re-shape.
That is why tummy time is so important.

She says there are a lot of unknowns when it comes to SIDS, and sleep position is only one risk factor, which can be reconsidered if that's the only way a baby will sleep. Which was the case for my baby. |
You have a brave pediatrician. Most doctors are too afraid to contradict official "recommendations" which are really ORDERS and doctors can be sued or lose their license
if disobey. Doctors don't have FREEDOM to practice medicine per THEIR opinion and based on the INDIVIDUAL patient.
