I think BabyShiny (4 weeks old) is suffering from reflux as we have been having some issues with excess wind and hiccups etc.
I have found after our early morning feed when I put her back to sleep on her back she grunts, whimpers and cries in her sleep as if in pain and will only go down for half an hour at most.
This morning I took her into bed with me (don't want to cosleep as don't feel secure enough and I wouldn't sleep for worrying) and she slept happily on her side, no noise or anything and she slept for over an hour.
Today she has had all her naps on her side on the other end of the sofa propped in a v pillow and she has slept well again. (This is not the same baby that only slept for a total of half an hour yesterday through the day!)
I have propped the head end of her cot up ready for tonight to see if that helps with the reflux, but if it doesn't I wanted to know if its safe enough to put her on her side to sleep at night if I put a rolled up blanket or similar against her belly so she can't roll forward?
Sorry for the essay but any advice on side sleeping would be appreciated.
