Any other side sleepers?

finally2006 · June 2010

I accidently discovered that DD likes sleeping on her side. Is it safe at her age (she can roll both ways and has good head control)? It has been the only way to get her to sleep unswaddled.

Thoughts?

yes. pur pedi said, if she can roll herself that way, its ok for them to sleep like that. even if that means on their belly too.

DS sleeps on his side or his belly. It's perfectly safe if she can roll and has head control. At this age, they know to move their head if they can't breath.

Yep, DS has been sleeping this way for a while now. As long as she can roll, it's no problem. DS has started sleeping on his stomach now too, and when he rolls right when he's falling asleep, I have to move his head for him to the side, but when he does it in the middle of the night, he's fine. Don't worry!

that is how my guy likes to go to sleep--he will turn to his back--but there is something sweet about him curled up on his side hugging his little cuddle buddy/lovey

SIde-sleeping is the only way he falls asleep on his own. He does roll sometimes, but because he can roll both ways he's safe in my book and our pedi's book.
