Hi, my 17wo dd has learnt to roll onto her front and now last night and tonight keeps doing so in her cot while asleep, should I keep rolling her back onto her back or just leave her to it?

From FSID (just reading it now!)....

As babies get older the sleeping position cannot be controlled, as they will move to find the sleeping position they find most comfortable. It is important to remember that the risk of SIDS decreases after a peak at the age of 2-3 months and that the vast majority of babies sleeping on their front do not die.

If a parent finds that their baby has rolled onto their stomach, the baby should be turned onto their back again, but parents should not feel that they have to get up all
night to check.

Thankyou, she seems pretty determined to be on her front!
