5 month old rolling in her sleep

Hey moms! My five month old is rolling in her sleep. I've caught her 3 times today and its got me freaking out. She sleeps in those baby nest loungers but inside of a crib and a bassinet because I have to transport her upstairs/downstairs vice versa throughout the night. I guessing it's not safe for her to stay in. I did catch he face down so it got me scared. What are you all doing about baby rolling in their sleep? I'm really stumped with this one and I feel like I need a solution fast before something happens.

If they can roll in their sleep it’s absolutely fine, it means they have the strength to free their head if it gets stuck. The problem is when people put their babies down to sleep face down and the baby doesn’t have neck strength to move itself.

You do now need to remove her from any nests inside the crib and make sure she’s sleeping on a flat surface without any loose covers etc

@Pryi thank you for the advice! I figured I needed to get rid of the nest.

Its fine for them to roll in their sleep. If they can roll they have the control to move their heads if they're in an uncomfortable/dangerous position.
