Baby turning onto front?

Hey
My 11month old baby has now taken to turning whilst sleeping...onto her front, every time I turn her back she will persistently put herself back on her front? Is there any way or any tips about trying to keep her on her back? TIA

If she can roll herself comfortably from front to bad then I'd let her sleep like that.

It is totally safe if she is doing it herself. As long as her sleep space is safe (alone, on back, wearing a sleep sack, no mobile or toys, at least a foot away from furniture) then all is good.

Sorry by "on back" I mean placed on her back initially.

She is safe sleeping on her front at that age. There is nothing safe you can use to keep her on her back.

As PP's have said at 11mo you really don't need to worry. My DD is that age and sleeps on her front, side, back, in some sort of weird position with her bum in the air 😆throughout the night. If you leave her she'll probably move back herself eventually.
