4 week old rolling on to front in night

Basically just this, since birth she’s rolled from on her back to on her left side, she can also be very often found horizontally across the cot. During the night and just now she was on her front.
She’s in a sleepingbag/gro bag tonight for the first time. I’ve put her foot to foot against the side of the cot but I am worried she’s going to flip herself over and something awful will happen.
Does any one have any idea if this is ok for her to be doing?!

Can she flip herself back over? I didn't have this problem but I have an angelcare mat and this helps for peace of mind.

Yes me too, angel mat is a godsend. I love mine. It has to be on a solid base so back put a board over cot slats under mattress and you can't use in a next to me.

We have the angelcare monitor and pad. I even rolled up towels but she defeated them in no time. I haven’t let her try and roll herself back... I probably should

I would worry less as you have and angelcare, crazy that she is rolling so soon, just keep everything out of her cot and she should be okay in the sleeping bag

One of my DD's did the same thing very early on. I was shocked but she was totally fine. We used a sleeping bag and that seemed to somewhat help for a week or two but then had to transfer her to a cot (was in a basket at first) very early on and bump it up. She still rolled but never fell out. She's now 4 and at times we find her by the side of her bed and when I occasionally have her in my bed it's like sleeping in a battle field. She kicks and rolls all over the bed. It's just how she's always been
