sleeping position help

we recently transitioned 7 month dd to her crib... we keep finding her on her side/belly... more belly then side and also her face is pretty down and she will be pressed up against the crib. we have a breatheable crib bumper but still i want tot figure out a way to not get her to sleep like that. every time i roll her back to her back she wakes up. i watch her fall asleep and its just a soothing thing, she likes sleeping like that. letting her sleep like that isnt an option.. i dont care if shes past the 6 month sids drop... anyone else deal with this?

She's fine. My LO is 6 months and he rolls over all the time.

If she is putting herself into that position she's fine. Let the baby sleep.

My Son did it around 9 months I think. We eventually gave up and took the bumpers off and let him sleep that way.

At that age she's fine to sleep that way

i didnt mention she just got her flatspot helmet... so im mainly concerned about she getting face down and not being able to turn her head as it is large and heavy

It's normal. My first started rolling to his tummy and sleeping that way at about 4 months. My second was closer to 7 months when he started doing it. At this point they are able to move freely enough that it isn't going to hurt them. Let your LO sleep how she is comfortable. How would you feel if someone continuously turned you while you were sleeping?

well... i dont have a giant, heavy helmet on my head that could possibly restrict my breathing. If i did then i would be happy someone was trying to keep me alive.

When she's doing tummy time can she lift up her head with the helmet?

yes but a moment ago she was basically face down and asleep. my kids sleeps though anything... except me moving her obviously ahaha

Well it sounds like there's really not much you can do... unless you're planning on moving her every 5 minutes all night.

If she can lift her head during tummy time with it on she will be okay.
The only way you could stop her from rolling over is to tie her arms and legs to the posts but that obviously is not safe so you are SOL.

Let her sleep. Not to sound rude but if she has a flat spot then she obviously needs to spend less time on her back. She is old enough and strong enough not to suffocate. Take the blankets out of her crib.

well the doctor said the flatspot is from her sleeping in the same spot because of her reflux. i just sleeping with their head in the same spot reduces the burn?
