Baby rolling over in sleep - worried

Found baby (5.5 months) this morning sleeping peacefully on his tummy.
I'm worried though because during the day when we play, he rolls perfectly from back to belly but finds it harder to roll back onto his back (he hasn't quite figured out what to do with his arm yet). I'm just worried that he might struggle in the night. Is there anything I can do to help this?

Once they start rolling theres no stopping them and they are comfy sleeping on their tummies. At 5.5 months they can lift their heads so they aren't in any danger, they just cry if they get stuck.

Just wait til they start banging their head on the cot!

I was told once they go on their stomach not to worry as pp they will cry if they need you. Obviously lo was very comfy x

Thank you. You're right. He would def whinge if he couldn't roll back over (as he does during the day). Hopefully I'll sleep tonight knowing that 🙈
He did look very comfy!

My LO sleeps on her side! She actually falls into the recovery position to sleep 😂 I leave her as she will shout if she needs me. Even if you put lo on back they would probably wake up pretty annoyed they been moved 😂 I done it couple times, when I didn't feel comfortable with it. She told me she was extremely unhappy me moving her 😂 sleep well x

My DD slept on her front all the time as a baby. She wouldn't really sleep any other way.
