My DD would startle herself awake if I put her down on her back. I told this to her pediatrician and he picked her up and held her face down over his arm. He said if she was strong enough to pick her head up then her neck was strong enough for her to sleep on her tummy. It was, and she did, from then on.
BUT, she couldn't have any soft bedding in the crib, only her sheet.
