    I was able to transfer her to the hammock on her back without disturbing her once we went to bed, so we might get away with it in the evening. Fx! Little things certainly like to keep us guessing.

    For daysleeps that weren't in the sling or on me, I used to put DS on his side with rolled up small blankets against his tummy and back to stop him rolling. But at night we coslept so he was on his side, mouth on boob or head rested on boob. I think once they can lift their head it is 'safer' for them to tummy sleep.

    I was a tummy sleeper from birth (even in the hospital apparently) and i'm now 27 and still can only sleep on my tummy!!!!! I even found a way to do it comfortably when i was pg!
    Mum used rolled up blankets around me to try and stop me rolling and kept checking on me...

    My baby sounds exactly like yours! Transferring worked for us right up til 9 months, day sleeps were short or worn, and we just rolled with that. Once I succumbed to tummy sleeping at night, we had 11 hour sleep throughs, and 90 minute day naps - HUGE in this house.

    Good luck!
