5 month old and persistent tummy sleeping

[Cgow]

Hi there my little girl has recently started to roll on her tummy, it's been about a month now and it seems to be her favourite new trick, I don't mind I think it's amazing I love watching her do it but now she's doing it at night. She will go on her tummy to sleep and if I try and move her back ... She will roll again. I really worry as she does put her face down. She's in her own room so I'm constantly getting up to check her and try and move her over again! Any tips or advice as in becoming very anxious about her at night! Thanks x

If she can roll herself then she can get herself out of difficulty if need be. If she's choosing to sleep like that then just leave her!

Bless her (and you), they are always such a worry.

Once they can roll into a preferred sleeping position the advice is to let them. They key thing at this stage is she is able to shift her position unlike a newborn.

It's hard for you though, have you considered one of those two way cameras? I think they can be picked up fairly cheaply. You'd have one in your room and another in with your baby so you can see her..

My DD would only sleep on her tummy from about 4 weeks old! We kept putting her on her back because of all the "safe sleep guidelines), but she would only go for 20-30 min stretches! After 4 weeks of sleepless nights, my mum suggested trying her on her front (which was the advice when I was a baby), and she slept for a 5 hour stretch!
She 6mo now and still sleeps on her tummy.
At 5mo your LO is more than capable of turning her own head when she needs to I would continue putting her down on her back, but if she is rolling on to her front by herself, then she must be comfortable that way
Do you have a video monitor?? That might give you peace of mind. Or maybe one with a sensor pad for under the mattress??

My 4mo does this too, I leave her. She can lift her head and roll back again. She's still in our room but have a sensor monitor for when we move her.

Ok yeah I do have a sensor monitor I didn't think of that. She can fully move around the cot now it's such a worry. They tend to drum all these safety guidelines into you and make you worry. I have been trying to leave her as I slept like this when I was young but you can't help but think the worst! I've tried swaddling and she still flips her self over he rally if she wakes this is how I find her lol!!
It's just when she's sleeping thanks for the advice I'll leave her and try the sensor pad below xx

My DD is a tummy sleeper and has slept on her front since day 1, it turns out that we are a family of tummy sleepers and that's just the way it is.

I got the AngelCare monitor with the sensor mat which made me feel a bit better but had to stop using it at around 7 months as she just moved around a lot and it kept going off and frightening us all silly.

TBH more of a worry is the low cot side height, particularly if she's getting mobile, and the stuff you have tied onto the bars which could be dangerous if it works loose and she gets trapped.

As thenewbroom says, I wouldn't have anything in the cot or tied on to it. DD1 is 23 months and still only has a sheet, her gro bag and her favourite cuddly toy. It can be dangerous if they get their hands on them.

Yeah I know this picture was taken the first night I noticed her do it it has been moved down since as for the bunting they are very secure and can't be undone .. I will have to cut it off plus she's usually swaddled with mits on so its never been a major concern but thanks I've never really thought about that. X
