Baby rolls at 2 weeks
Baby rolls onto his side at night. All the way, not just his head. Scares the crap out of me.
I bought this in hopes that itll keep him from rolling.
Thoughts? Advice? We have tried rolling towels and putting them on either side. He somehow rolls right into and around them.
Would this insert be okay for a preemie? He is tiny.
Any advise on finding one to fit the ingenuity bassinet?

It’s definitely safer to leave baby and not prop them up with anything, they could end up suffocating. Mine does the same! This young they don’t roll in the sense that an older baby does, they roll due to the motion of scrunching up, therefore it’s very unlikely they will be able to roll over any further onto their front. As long as you put baby to sleep on their back and if you happen to see them on their side just put them back on their back. No need to do this religiously, only if you happen to see it, they should grow out of it but I was worried at the beginning too!
1. Where is your son sleeping?
2. The surface he sleeps in is it levelled/even?
The rolling all the way to their tummy at that early age only happens when the surface is uneven, make sure he sleeps in a flat surface. Also try to swaddle him when he sleeps
Lookup ‘newborn curl’ it’s pretty common, our little guy did it too. I just kept an eye on him and would roll him back into his back. If he was gassy, we’d try let him stay on his side while we hung out with him for a while bc it made him feel better. Doc said he was fine on his side if we watched him.
