Baby rolling in sleep worried!

My little girl is 4.5mo the last week she has woken crying a few times through the night as she has managed to roll from her back to her belly and is stuck. I’m worried about how safe this is?

She isn’t currently rolling from belly to back she has a few times but not consistently. We have only started really doing tummy time the last 2-3 weeks as due to severe reflux she simply wouldn’t tolerate it in any form. Now she’s a lot better and we’re building up the tummy time. She is rolling more from back to belly in the day now but again gets stuck as she hasn’t mastered front to back yet.

She seems quite strong though has excellent control of her head.

Any tips hints advice reassuarnace! please

Hi OP. Once babies start rolling, you really don't need to worry about them sleeping on their tummy; it can't be helped and is inevitable! And good head and neck control means she will not get herself into difficulties. Actually babies often roll front to back before back to front, so she'll probably start to do this very soon anyway.
