4.5 month old sleeping on side

[PragmaticWench]

Am I crazy to be awake worrying about DS suddenly sleeping on his side? He's 4.5 months and can roll onto his front but then gets stuck face down.

He's been feeding every hour or two through the night for weeks so I'm exhausted and suddenly he has tonight self-settled (!!) and gone to sleep on his side. He didn't have a feed, just rolled around sucking his fingers then snuggled up on his side and fell asleep. In lying here worried he'll roll onto his front and suffocate.

I have a breathing monitor in the cot, as he has reflux and can choke. Should I give myself a mental slap, be thankful, and just go to sleep?! I've lost all perspective.

Go to sleep - he will be fine! Mine has slept on her front since she could roll to get there - she just prefers it. Good news on the self settling!

Mine side slept from day 1. (lazy co-sleeping/dream feeding) I think it is quite usual for 4 month olds to sleep on their side/front.
