Thats April, no matter what I do to stop her, she can only fall asleep on her front, I lay her down on her back to sleep, tuck her in like shes in a straightjacket, and she wriggles out and over to her tummy and falls asleep.  She is just like my dd3, only sleeps on her front and still does at 2 years old.  Only trouble is, when she wakes up she screeches as she cant get back over, and her poor little eyes look like she has just been born again. 

Anyone elses lo do this?

Louis sleeps on his front and i find myself rolling him back onto his back at least 10 times a night, he sleeps in a sleepingbag but he can still get over he also ends up all over the cot so i just leave him to.

 it i know its not really safe for them to slepp on their fronts buts his cot is next to my bed and the only way to proberbly stop him rolling over would be to strap him down lol

leo has always slept on his back, he doesnt roll over but he does turn around. try a sleeping bag there very good when i put leo in his he cant even turn around.

years ago they used to make you put your baby to sleep on there tum's  i know thats changed now but i think if your lo is happy on her tum then leave her there.

thats my opinion tho.xx

It was how i was taught with my older 3 and then all of a sudden i'm not allowed.  Fred did sleep on his front to start with until I swaddled him!  He hasn't been on his front since

Ryans always slept on his back, i cant imagine him liking sleeping on his tum even wen he does start 2 roll. A few times hes turned himself upside down but went straight back 2 sleep once iv tucked him in again.

I slept on my front wen i was little & came 2 no harm, i also think once los able 2 roll over, if they're comfy its not a problem 2 leave them on their front
