Rolling over during the night

@Cassie yes my little girl does the exact same
Mine has started too 😭! I’m constantly watching her so that she doesn’t do it whilst I’m asleep. So as I’ve become paranoid, I’ve started swaddling again as I know that will prevent her from wanting to turn over. During the day I allow her to turn as much as she wants 😂
My LO is still swaddled, tho didn't learn to roll over from back to tummy. I wanted to start weaning off the swaddle then all of the sudden he started falling asleep by himself in his crib, so I don't want to change many things!
My little one started rolling over a couple of weeks ago and that was my fear too i.e. roll onto his tummy in his sleep. Guess what? He did and I kept trying to turn him back but he would still turn over. Think he prefers sleeping this way. I’ve been reading a little about this (and checked with a doctor) that once they can roll over and are comfortable sleeping on their side or stomach then it is safe to leave them be because they now have strength in their necks to do so. You should stop swaddling baby with arms in because they need their arms free to lift their head if required.
My baby sleeps on his side/tummy now with his face pressed into the mesh of his next to me. I know he can push himself up or roll onto his back again and he can breathe through the mesh so I just let him sleep like that. He seems so comfy!!
