My DD went through a bit of a phase from 2-3 months where she wouldn't sleep flat on her back and would only sleep in her bouncer, she suddenly snapped out of it properly at 5 months but has started doing it again at 7 months (short lived!!) I don't know what to do because we will be up all night with a screaming child if we put her in her cot - we've tried - I'm finding it all a bit stressful at the moment, does anyone have any advice, or know why she could be doing it?
I think my head might explode or my eyes will fall out of my head Shock

Does she suffer with reflux/colic/milk allergy?

My DS was the same from birth, he never slept flat for months. Could you ask the health visitor?

She doesn't appear to, she's not shown any signs really she's not been colicy or anything she only had it once when she was diddy.
I think I'll have to next time she's weighed if she's not back in her cot :(
It's frustrating because she was doing so so well!

It does sound like reflux. Some babies can get it with no other symptoms that not laying completely flat.

She's in her cot tonight! Convinced she'll wake up any second - I think she may have had an upset tummy poor thing. We had a long travel last weekend and on Monday so that upset her routine a little bit I think as well.
Thank you for your help anyway, I will take her to a doctor about reflux next week :)
