Puffy eyes and tummy sleeping

Hi all!

My LO is 16 weeks old and recently started to roll both ways - and now has started doing it at night!

I always put him down on his back but he soon rolls on to his side where he spends most of the night and then a couple of hours on his front in the early hours

Since he has started doing this, he has been waking up with puffy eyes! They don’t seem sore and they go down within an hour or so but I’m worried

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi OP this sounds really weird? No ideas but hope you get it figured out

Oh dear, not the answer I was hoping for!

Might give the HV a buzz

Babies often have puffy eyes, it has nothing to do with how they sleep. The puffiness goes down when they've been awake a while, some don't because they are just chubby. I think you are worrying about nothing. Mine always slept on tummy at that age.

Thank you @jessstan2, I think you’re probably right about me worrying about nothing! :)
