Baby sleeping on side

My baby has started turning to her side while asleep and likes to stay in that position. Whenever I turn her on her back she wakes up crying, is it okay to leave her on her side? Is this happening to anyone else?

Mine sleeps on the side only and I just leave her to it! She’s started doing it few weeks ago and won’t sleep on her back now

I think as long as they can roll it’s fine. They will sleep in all sorts of positions it can be quite funny! Mine is currently a side sleeper also.

Mine is also a side sleeper and we co-sleep. I’ve given up rolling to her back cos she will just wake up 🤦🏼‍♀️

Does your baby not have good head control?

She does, she's has good head control for a while. She can sit, roll and turn etc

My little boy always sleeps on his side and has done pretty much since about 4 weeks old. I'll lay him on his back at first but he always turns and sleeps on his side x

@Katie same as my little one, since she learnt to roll over she sleeps on her stomach. When I had a visit from health visitor she said once they learn to roll over and sit up they are fine to sleep on their stomach x

Thank you ladies, seems as though its pretty normal, and nothing to worry about 😊

My little girl likes sleeping on her belly and will cry if I try and move her. She can roll over herself so I'm not too worried

Mines being sleeping on his side from atleast 6 months!

Yeah mine sleeps on her side and her front and very rarely sleeps on her back!

Mine doesn’t roll but last night I woke at like 12:45 and she was on her side happily asleep, it’s the only way she’s actually happy to sleep so I left her to it!

My twins are front sleepers and have been since about 4 months!

Yes my baby sleeps on her side and has done for months, she loves it!
