My 7-month-old has just started to turn over, last week I woke up to my baby turned upside down which frightened me and I quickly picked him up. I thought this was a one-off but tonight when I've put him in bed he started turning over as he's now very confident at rolling. I get worried about him turning over when I'm asleep, can anybody offer me any reassurance or any tips to keep him safe if he keeps turning in bed?.

Mine started doing this at around 5/6 months. Honestly I was so scared when he first started doing it, but as long as they can roll front to back then they are safe. Obviously follow safe sleep guidelines by not having bumpers in the cot but I think a lot of babies go through this and just find a sleeping position that's most comfortable for them. My little boy definitely prefers sleeping on his front and will put himself in whatever position he wants. There's only been one occasion I've intervened, and that was just to angle his head up a little more when he was poorly to help with his congested breathing.
