Sids and Side sleeping

I am a bit concerned,
Now we dont wrap DD- havent done so for about 2 weeks. She goes to sleep in a sleeping bag, however, often while alseep, rolls onto her right side.
I go in and turn her over onto her back, sometimes she stays ther for a while, but mostly rolls straight back on her side before I have even left the room.
Is there anything I can do to avoid sids?
I have checked out their website, and all it says is to put them to sleep on their back, which I am doing.
I try tucking her into bed with a sheet tight so she cant swing her legs over, but of course, she does.
:doh: Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do or what SIDS reccomends?
TIA

Nina has been a side sleeper ever since she could roll onto her side. Once they start moving around the cot, there's not really a lot you can do. If you're really worried about it, then you can get a thing called 'sleep positioner' which sort of holds them into place. You can place them on their back or side to sleep. I used that for Nina for a while, until she learnt she could wriggle out the top of it.

I tried everything with Matilda, even went to a sleep school to get her from sleeping on her belly (would not sleep on her back) eventually she started rolling at 10 weeks and they told me there was nothing I could do. I borrowed one of those things that straps them into place but she would not sleep at all with it on. She just screamed. So she slept on her belly.

I was worried with Charlie too, though he's been sleeping through the night ever since we stopped wrapping him. As he can sleep on his side, seems this is what he likes. Like someone said, once they start moving there's not much we can do about it. I was worried as he's always all over the cot now, so I put him in long Pj's & a sleeping bag appropriate for the weather & have taken out all blankets. He just has his small wrap that he cuddles. This way I don't have to stress about him getting tangled etc.

i sort of think if they have the body control to be able to roll onto their side when they please, i would think that they could also turn their head to the side (if they rolled onto their tummy) so as not to be suffocating into the mattress? i think once they can move around the cot you just have to let them be, they will find their own comfortable position, and if its their side or tum then so be it. i actually wish i had of tried our dd on her tummy sooner, as when she was 5 months i realised thats how she wanted to sleep... if only i had of put her on her tum even in bed next to me, maybe we would have gotten some sleep in those early months.

I use the safe and sound anti roll pillow which is really good and makes you feel safe with them in it.

Izzy has just started rolling in the last week and with that she is prefering to sleep on her back. If we roll her over she screams blue murder and as another poster mentioned I figure that if she is strong enough to lift her head now and roll everywhere including her cot she will be fine. I also have a sneaking suspicion she ends up on her tummy for day sleeps -but I always catch her when shes awake - the crease her on face seems to be a tell tale sign!

my mchn (she is one of the good ones) told me that in the UK the sids advice says to sleep on back or side, not just back.

my dd slept on her side from the day she was born as she hated the back and kept choking on her own saliva - did it once to the extent that she stopped breathing so for her the back was much more dangerous.

the absolute biggest risk factors for sids are any exposure to cigarette smoke, dirty mattresses, bumpers adn things they can choke or suffocate on - as wel as soft, rather than firm mattresses. babies who have had any formula at all (even one bottle) are at a greater risk so if you are breastfeeding - keep at it.

My son loves to sleep on his tummy!!! I was told if they have good head control there is no issue with them sleeping on side or tummy. My nephew has been a side sleeper since day one. It was also suggested to me to put rolled up muslin wraps along side of him to prevent him from rolling, but sometimes he will only settle and go straight to sleep if on his side or tummy

Once they are mobile enough to roll over, their risk of SIDS is lowered. In fact, adding extra stuff to the cot to try and stop them rolling is itself a SIDS risk. I wouldn't worry unduly; rolling around in bed is normal, most people sleep on their sides as adults anyway. In fact, I know of more than one paediatrician that recommends that babies have tummy sleeps from one month, as long as they are supervised (ie. day sleeps, when you are around) to stop plagiocephaly (flattened head).

My DS is 9 weeks old, I have found that the only way I can get him into bed without him waking is to put him on his side. It works for us.

My son will ONLY sleep on his tummy. He dozes on his back buts wakes up after a few minutes.

If you bubs only wants to sleep on her side, dont wrap anymore as the wrapping can be also a sids risk if always coming undone, I would start to use a sleeping bag. We started Julia on a sleeping bag around 4 months when she was rolling on her side and she was fine. I was always worried about her as she loved unwrapping herself and having her arms free.
