Baby sleeping bags and rolling...

DD is 6 months old and we have weaned her off the wrap, but still wrap her torso. She could sleep without the wrap, but if I don't wrap she kicks her blankets off. So I am going to buy a sleeping bag.
But my question is: How can I stop her from kicking her legs up and rolling over in a sleeping bag? Usually I just tuck her in nice and tight so she can't lift her legs up in the air. I would prefer her not to roll in her cot, especially at night because she just cries when she does :(

I had someone tell me they tucked the end of the bag under the mattress which sounds ok, but we are going away in a couple of weeks and she will be in the portacot. Any advice?

At 6 months she will be wanting to roll over no matter what you dress her in. This is one of those adjustment times, when they either decide they like sleeping on their tummy or they don't and they will stop rolling or roll back themselves.

She has been rolling since about 4 months and can roll back sometimes, but most of the time she will just start to crack it. And every time I have put her in without any wrap (hot nights) she keeps rolling and crying. I don't think she likes tummy sleeping :(

I was going to say the same as HotI, it'll be hard to stop her and it may just be the surprise of waking up that way. When DD learnt to sit she'd wake up in a sitting position and start crying, same again when she learnt to crawl. It just took time for her to get used to it and either stop doing it or get back to a comfortable position.

I think if you were to tuck the bottom of the sleeping bag under the mattress she'd still roll because it wouldn't actually hold her in position, and then her legs would be twisted or more held down, she'd probably like that even less. Does she maybe not like it because she's wrapped when she rolls? Maybe it'll actually be better in the sleeping bag?

She doesn't roll when she's wrapped, that's why I would like to continue it. But it's just getting too hot for wrapping. I have put her to bed probably 5 times with no wrap and she just Kicked the blankets off, rolled on her tummy and then started crying. Maybe I will just buy the bag, use it for day sleeps first and spend lots of time with her on her mat just rolling from front to back so she gets the hang of it. She can do it, but hasn't much. I have the porta cot set up so she can sit in it and play during the day (and so she gets used to it for when we go away) and when she reaches too far for a toy she face plants onto her tummy and then cries for me to sit her back up :lol:

Lol learning to roll is the cutest thing :)

We first put DD in a sleeping bag at three months because she'd spend so much time just struggling to get out of the wrap, she'd wake herself up. We did the same as what you're planning, used it during the day to begin with, and when she was used to it used it all the time. Sounds like you've got a good plan with helping her to roll a bit better too :)

It's ok for them to roll over at this age. My daughter slept better on her stomach.

We had DD in a sleeping bag when she started to roll and I was really freaked out but it was just something we had to go with because she was getting more tangled in her wrap at night anyway. She became a tummy sleeper as soon as she could roll and had me in a panic about it for the first week then after that I realised she was ok on her tummy as she could move here head and by the second week she had figured out how to roll back the other way. I think you just have to go with it. Only suggestion is get a sleeping bag with press studs under the arms so while the bag is bigger on her you can do them up to stop it ridding up around her neck.
