4 month Self settling

So my little boy is nearly 5 months now and i really want to start teaching him to self sooth. But the thing is when i put him down on his back no matter what he will roll onto his belly. No matter what!
It is really frustrating and i can’t leave him in his cot overnight as he will just bury his face into the mattress. (He can’t go belly to back) So for now he is still in is Moses basket.
He is such a fidget!

I really need some advice if anyone would like to give any😅 x

Most cot mattresses are breathable, have a look if yours is. Pretty much all babies are more comfortable on their bellies and will get to a stage where they just want to sleep that way. My boy went through a stage of stuffing his face into the mattress but it was fine.
For self settling we did Ferber around 5 months and modified it to what we were comfortable with x

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?
