Sleep

Do you alternate sides?

DD isn't rolling back to from yet, and her front to back rolling is a bit patchy.

To help her sleep, I roll her onto her side then when she is asleep I roll her onto her back. Should I alternate the side that I roll her onto?

How old?

I don't really understand what you are asking or why - but if it helps..

mine started rolling from front to back at 15weeks and from back to front at about 6months.

he wanted to sleep on his front so I let him, but if he turned over onto his back in the night he would wake up screaming, I would go in and turn him over and he would go straight back to sleep again.

She is almost 4mo.

I always roll her onto her right, but should I sometimes roll her on her left side as well?

I can't imagine that you need to worry about which side she is being rolled,
in the long run I am sure she will make up for any inconsistencies herself.

She will turn over in her own time,

mine was incredibly active and was crawling before he could turn over from back to front, so they don't always follow any particular pattern
