Baby sleeping on belly?
My nearly 5 month old hates being on her back and immediately rolls to her belly when she’s awake in the day and is recently rolling onto her belly to sleep and when I roll her back over to her back she becomes really unsettled and won’t go back to sleep.
we then repeat putting on her back-rolls to belly-I roll her back-she wakes up so on. I would let her sleep on her belly but I have rarely seen her roll from belly to back- she can do this but obviously does not do it often as she doesn’t like being on her back, so when she’s asleep I don’t feel confident enough to leave her belly sleeping. Which in turn just leaves me sleep deprived with her sleeping on her belly and I just sit and watch her sleep😂
I was using a snuza pod for breathing monitoring but obviously when she rolls on her front the alarm sounds as her tummy is pressed again the mattress confusing the pod. Is there any similar breathing devices that will pick up breathing even when on belly that aren’t extortionate,Any one else in similar situation??? I’m at a loss

Try an owlet or Nanit if you need the peace of mind I’ve been told countless times if baby can put themselves in that position they’re fine to sleep in that position

I could have literally written this myself. I’ve just figured out my boy is a side sleeper/belly sleeper. However he can confidently roll both ways and he is a big boy for his age so I don’t feel too worried. I’ve been battling to get him to sleep independently and if this is how he wants to sleep then I’m going to let him. He is my second so I do feel a bit more relaxed though, but so natural to feel worried. The chance of SIDS reduces dramatically post 6 months so I feel like we are nearly there and can relax a bit. If I was you, get her practicing rolling both ways so you feel confident she can get herself back x
