hi my LO is 14 weeks and just mastered the roll from back to front! but cannot roll front to back. Since this he rolls to his front during sleep and has been sleeping on his front tonight, his head is turned where his nose is free and 3/4 of his mouth. He cries when he wants flipped back over. NHS safe sleeping says if he cannot roll back himself then to keep putting him back on his back but the second i do he rolls again and we’re playing a game of rotisserie chicken 🤣
what’s peoples experience of a front sleeper and are you ok just leaving them as long as face clear nothing in cot etc til they learn the roll themselves back, i don’t wanna keep having him sleep on me when neither of us want too just to avoid front sleeping x

My little girl does this too. She still cant roll from tummy to back. But i let her sleep on her front. She has good head and neck control so she can mover her head. I did start off by keep rolling her back iver but she would immediately wake and roll back. My health visitor said you cant keep rolling them back every 5 minutes as i wouldnt get any sleep. So when I wake up in the night I check on her and go back to sleep x
