As long as what she’s sleeping in is safe and she’s able to roll both ways then she’s probably ok.

Mine has always rolled over and slept on his front (in fact he's asleep on his front as I type this haha) I think a lot of babies just find it comfier

Start her on her back. After that leave her to it.

My lo has been sleeping on her belly since 5 months when she could roll both way she’s nearly 1 now

Once they can roll, it's safe to let them roll however they want. Every single safe sleep recommendation says that its fine if baby rolls by thenselves and just leave them be if they do. Assuming they are on a safe sleep surface, it shows their motor control is developed enough that they are no longer at risk of being stuck in an uncomfortable or unsafe sleep position - they clearly have the strength to manouevre themselves out of it. Let the kid have their agency over how they sleep 😂

My daughter started sleeping on her stomach at 5 months, she could only roll one way. She would scream to much until she was on her stomach. She is now 21 months and prefers sleeping on her back 🤦🏽‍♀️

Embrace the belly sleep now that she can roll on her own!

My little one started sleeping on his front around 5/6 months and is now 2.5 and still does it! If I’d turned him back every night I’d have been exhausted 🤣 as long as the cot is clear and mattress is firm etc they are ok x
