Face down? Like your face in the pillow? Or just on your stomach? You can sleep on your stomach as long as its comfortable. I slept on mine until it was sticking too far out. The baby is fine and very well protected.

I did until I got to concerned that i was squishing him. I would talk to your doctor. I know its best to sleep on the left side its the best oxygen flow for the baby. If i was you I would try breaking the habit early bc i had a hard time breaking that habit!
