Dd (9mo) has bad wind after introduction to new foods and wakes up screaming every 20mins or so,yet somehow manages to sleep fine on me!I'm wondering if lying her on her side could help her,but can't figure out how to put her down comfortably-where should her arms go?!

We used to put dd to sleep on her side when she was

Out of interest, do you do anything to keep them on their side? My 3 month old suffers badly with wind in the night & is really unsettled in her cot. Sleeps much better on someone. Have tried putting her down on side but she always flops on to her back really quickly.

we had dd on her side in her Moses basket, we had a rolled up towel down one side of the basket against her back which kept her on her side. but guess that wouldn't work so well in a cot and for a bigger baby...

Thanks, it's worth a try! I'm off to find a towel!.....

If she's 9 months old you can put her in whatever position you like. As soon as DS could roll he would only sleep on his tummy.

For side sleeping you do a kind of recovery position type thing, but let her wriggle into however is comfy for her.
