He's getting to the age now where his neck and upper body are strong enough to lift his head up, and the risk of SIDS is reduced. Make sure he's getting plenty of tummy time during the day so that his muscles get stronger.

Before you decide to place him on his tummy to sleep, just realize that study after study has shown that babies that sleep on their tummy are twice as likely to die from SIDS as are babies that sleep on thier back.
But keep in mind, the average rate of SIDS is about 10 per 100,000 children. That means your child's risk of SIDS is about 0.01%.
If his temperment is such that sleeping on his tummy v. sleeping on his back is the difference between everyone getting a restful night sleep and NOBODY getting any sleep at all (baby or mommy), then you might decide that raising your risk to about 0.02% is worth it.

Can he roll over on to his tummy? Or does he just cry until you put him on his tummy?
Maybe try swaddling him and laying him on his back. Or there could be other issues like he is gassy and being on his tummy helps push it out. If that is the case try burping him longer or change your diet if breastfeeding or change formula if bottle feeding

there is this thing you can buy (inexpensive), a flat pad with a cushion on each side. The baby lays on it, and the side cushions keep the baby from rolling. So that if you lay the baby on its back, it cannot roll over to its tummy.

My daughter (5 months) was/is the same way. They say to keep your little one sleeping on their back until they can roll themselves over to reduce your risk of SIDS.
I swaddled our little one really tightly and that seemed to do the trick for us, she was a little "sausage" and slept very comfortably on her back.

is he rolling over onto his tummy by himself? or will he just not lay on his back.. if he's doing it on his own he should be fine as long as he's comfortable his head is turned so he can breathe.

If he can roll over just put him on his belly. My son's slept that way since birth.
