Is it normal for your baby to sleep on their side?

I just commented on a very similar post. I’ll copy what I said.

I remember feeling so anxious when my little boy first did this, I was also going in and turning him - this was more when he didn’t know how to roll both ways.

If your LO can roll both ways, there is no need to move her. She knows how to move around so can get herself in and out of the position

NHS advice states -
Do not put your baby to sleep on their side or tummy.
Once your baby is old enough to roll over, there's no need to worry if they turn onto their tummy or side while sleeping. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/caring-for-a-newborn/reduce-the-risk-of-sudden-infant-death-syndrome/#:~:text=Place%20your%20baby%20on%20their%20back%20to%20sleep%20from%20the,on%20their%20side%20or%20tummy.

Thankyou so much for this. It has definitely reassured me, such worrying times when your little one starts something new. ☺️

I know! It really freaked me out and I was going in so many times rolling him over but I think I was disturbing him more than anything 🫣

I am definitely more of a side sleeper than a back sleeper and I think it is just more comfortable! Until she turns 1, put her to sleep on her back and if she moves it’s nothing to worry about - she’s just found where she is most comfortable 😀✨

My LO is almost 5 months and will mostly sleep on his side now he can roll. I don’t move him off his side, but I will put him back into good back if he’s rolled into his front

When my little one did this and went in her belly to sleep I panicked and was like nope your not doing that😂 I mentioned it to my health visitor and she said as long as baby can roll onto their back again they can sleep in any position☺️x

You can leave her at this age when she can roll herself . She’s adorable 🥰

I wouldn't move her as she's obviously comfy, as long as she can roll both ways she'll be fine. My little boy likes to sleep on his belly. The first time I found him like that I panicked but I know he can get himself out of that position so I know longer worry.

My LO is 9 months now and she will sleep on her side or her front majority of the night. It used to worry me and still does make me feel anxious but I’m slowly coming to terms with, well she put herself in that position and I know she can get into other positions, she must be comfortable so I leave her x

No need to move her if she’s able to roll both ways, only need to roll her back onto her back if shes unable to roll both ways as she may find herself in difficulty if that’s the case, my girl started sleeping on her belly/side from 7 months she was fine, you’ll wake up to them sleeping all sorts of positions when you wake up 🤣 xx

My baby been sleeping on her side since she was a month old 😭 but she also co sleeps facing me so I can see her

My lg is 5 months (6 months next Tuesday) and she can roll both ways and does in her cot too in her sleep xx

My kids been sleeping on his side since he was about 2 months old. As long as she can breathe and nothing is covering her face, she’ll be fine to sleep on her side

I let my baby sleep on his side it's what's comfy I set him down on his back and if he so happens to roll onto his side or tummy while I'm still trying to put him to sleep I let him stay that way. As long as your baby can roll back and forth on their own it's no longer a problem

My baby has never ever slept on her back, side or tummy all the way!! If the do it themselves it's perfectly safe!
