LO is 7 months next week and now only wants to sleep on her stomach. Before it was on her side but now she wakes her self up and flips on her stomach and falls straight asleep. She can roll back to forth and vice versa. Back my anxiety is on 1000. I have tried flipping her back but she goes straight back to her stomach, I can do it 10 times she flips 10 times.
Any advice😑

If she is flipping herself onto her stomach, she is fine to sleep in that position😊

You'll never sleep if you keep flipping her over!! If she's comfy and can roll then let her crack on!!xx

@Allison thank you I thought so but I know its not recommended

@Megan very true I keep on waking up to make sure she's okay. I just need to get used it and understand she's fine.

completely understand the scare my daughter did this at 2m doctor said as long as I pay her down on her back and she can flip herself both ways she's fine.

@Cris thank you for the reassurance. X

I was the same except my little one was doing this at 4 months 😬
We have a breathing monitor that goes under
R the mater
Ess which helped
With some worry

My LO has started doing this too and can roll both ways but seems to forget how to do this during the night and starts crying when she can’t roll back over x

The recommendation is that you always put them to sleep on their back, but if they can roll themselves into a different position it's perfectly safe for them to stay there 😊 just follow all other safe sleep guidelines, like no pillows, blankets or bumpers and no soft toys in the cot and they'll be fine!

My understanding is it's safe as long as they are proficient at rolling and put themselves in this position

yes there's nothing at all in her co thank you

thank you
