    I wouldn't be concerned. If she has good head control and can lift her chest off the ground, she should be fine. There's nothing you can do to stop them from rolling onto their tummies at this age.

    Just be grateful she's happy to sleep on her tummy cause my little one isn't and it's been a bit of a nightmare these last few weeks!

    :yeahthat:

    DD thinks rolling onto her tummy in bed is great fun, she parties until she's had enough then cracks it and wants to be on her back again .

    I'm sure you're DD will be fine, she sounds like she's strong enough to move her head if she needs to

    I'm trying out my Safe T Sleep tonight Willow

    LOL, good luck Trish!

    The anti roll pillow is working really well for us for his day naps, but unfortunately hasn't improved his night sleep

    Olive - I don't get it, my other two loved sleeping on their tummies! I'm a tummy sleeper too so it's got me stumped why he doesn't like it.

    Thanks girls. I'll let her be then and hopefully she'll sleep better during the day when she gets onto her tummy. Day sleeps have been hit and miss for 6 weeks now and were starting to improve then rolling started There is always something new!

    try not to worry too much, I went through exactly the same thing when my DS started rolling. In the end I gave up and realised that he wanted to sleep that way then he would. I also have the Angelcare monitor and that does give me peace of mind.
