Rolling in sleep

I have just found my baby face down in her sleep (the panic 🙈🤣)... i gently rolled her back which of course woke her up. Reading conflicted advice online, what's the best action? I am only worried as although she rolls back to tummy perfectly fine, I've never seen her roll tummy to back.

Mine only sleeps on her tummy, from the moment I put her down until morning

My little one started doing it and the smallest thing worked for her, I used to just lay my hand on her chest before she went in a deep sleep and if she was wriggly in the night and it would keep her calm and move less. If you don’t use sleep sacks too I recommend as my little one finds it harder to roll when she’s wearing hers :)

Mine likes being closer to one side of the next to me so I put her almost against it so less room to roll that way 🤣 Also changed from cellular blankets to a sleep sack so less loose material in the cot, and I just roll her back if spot she’s over

My September baby is also rolling on his front when he sleeps and rolls back to that position when I move him on his back. These September babies are built differently, they came to frighten us.

Mine just started rolling over to her side in her sleep! I had a rather sleepless night rolling her back - scares the crap outta me. But it seems as long as they're not swaddled and have their arms free, they can roll themselves back over.

Mine rarely rolls front to beck, but lie her on her back and she's straight onto her front. Started sleeping her in her own room / own cot and she's straight onto her front, face to the side, and sleeps from 10/11pm - 3/5 then to 7ish. Or she comes into bed with up at the 5am mark and feeds/sleeps as bf. So on her side with me.

I’m the complete same with my little girl! She can roll back to tummy but not tummy to back. She used to roll and be head down but over time has learned to turn her head. I turned her in her sleep so many times but she would just go back there. The health visitor recently told me if they get themselves there and are comfy then leave them but it never stops the worry for us parents!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
