Rolling over and waking up

My little one is nearly 7 months, she's still breastfed and I'm well into weaning her. We've gone through many stages at night; every 4 hours at first, then she found her thumb and was sleeping through from about 4/5 months then back to feeding twice a night as she's stopped with the thumb. NOW she's up at least 4 times. She feeds every time as I feel this is just the pattern now but every time I go in to her she has rolled onto her front and is at the edge of her cot. She's in a sleeping bag so god knows how she manages it. I just feel like if she didn't roll she wouldn't wake herself up but how do I stop her rolling, another downside to her rolling is, her grow and bag is wet in a morning cos she squashed the wee out of the front of her nappy?
Any advice?? Please .... (I'm fed up of getting up 3/4 times a night - especially when she has lured me into a false sense before by sleeping through) 🙈🙈

Same thing happened to my LO. At 6 months she was rolling around like a crazy thing and jolting herself awake. She was up 6-10 times doing it. It settled after about 3 weeks and she still rolls around but it's more controlled and she settles on her tummy. I was flipping her back but she was turning again. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it, it's part of this skill acquisition. Now she's 9 months old and she rolls and sits up in sleep which wakes her up. From 4-6 months she slept 11 hours at night with 1 short wake for quick feed so it was a shock to us too.
I use pampers at night because of the wee issue. They're more flexible and absorbent. I use Aldi / Lidl nappies in the day.
Unfortunately sleep doesn't improve in a linear way!
