Is it ok for baby's to sleep on their side or tummy?
For the last few nights Phoebe keeps flipping on to her side, even though she's in a grow bag and I've tried rolling up a blanket and putting it to the side of her (on the side she can roll).
But it worries me so much! Last night I went up and figured she was in a deep enough sleep for me to gently move her back on to her back but it woke her up I was then up for a further 2 hours trying to get her back to sleep!!! After about 6 times of me putting her back down in her cot on her back and her waking up, I put her down on her side and put the rolled up blanket infront of her to try and prevent her from lying on her tummy and for the first time ever she self settled
Do you think it's ok to carry on letting her sleep on her side? I'm sure they work themselves into all sorts of positions as they get older but it just makes me really nervous
