If baby can roll there's no problem with leaving them where they like to be. Get some sleep! You can't stop them from rolling wherever they like to go. As long as you are putting her down on her back when you do put her down, there's no issue.

That’s the thing tho she’s only just learnt so when she rolls to her front she can’t get back over and starts to struggle so I move her back and then she just carries on, it’s a vicious circle at the min, lol

It's still fine. If she has the core strength to roll to her front, she has the core strength to move out of a potentially compromising position. She is more likely to cry out for you tbh. Once they roll you really can't stop them unless you're watching them 24/7, and that's just not sustainable. It's fine!

My little girl was like this a few weeks ago, I left her to it. She has good head control and strength to move if she couldn’t breathe and she soon cried and let me know if she wasn’t comfortable. She’s been rolling back to front for over a month now but only recently doing it in her cot. Within a week of starting to roll in her cot she had learnt to roll front to back so now I don’t need to worry at all x

Leave them if they r strong enough to roll over they have enough head and neck control to move there head to prevent suffocation. Once they can roll and move into different positions in their sleep the risk of sids actually reduces. It's almost impossible to stop a baby from rolling and moving in there sleep unless u plan on never sleeping again and watching them the entire time. Since 10 weeks my baby has been able to roll back to front and always rolls onto his belly to sleep but he's only just learnt to roll belly to bk now at 25 weeks old. Always put them down on there bk to sleep but if they roll and move around just let them obviously if they roll right up to the side of the cot then just move them bk in the middle but u can't do much else. I found once they can move themselves into positions they find comfy they start sleeping better as well. It will be terrifying for first few night but ull get over it soon x

I just practiced rolling on and off throughout the day with my LO. Took about a week for him to roll back to front and back xx
