Rolling in sleep?

This may sound daft but if my baby rolls onto her tummy in her sleep, should I roll her onto her back again? She’s 9 months old but never really has been much of a roller. She can roll both ways when on the floor but very reluctantly and after a long time, and I’m concerned that in her cot when she’s in a deep sleep she’ll not roll back!

Obviously being 9 months old she has good head control, she can do other things like sit, stand etc but I’m just worried about this rolling she’s started! Last night she kept rolling onto her belly and I was in her room a hundred times placing her onto her back, and each time she had her face firmly pressed into the mattress and was sound asleep!

I won’t get any sleep for watching and worrying if I need to keep moving her back! Have tried googling but getting conflicting advice there. Am I being a silly FTM, do I just leave her be or do I keep moving her back until I’m confident she can do it herself?

It's fine once they can roll about - just help them if they get stuck somewhere! They'll end up sleeping in the weirdest positions sometimes 😂

Don't worry OP, once they're able to roll it's ok to let them sleep in whatever position.

At 9 months old she's fine to sleep in whichever position feels comfortable to her.
