erin's been rolling from back to tummy for 2 months now, but only in the last 2 weeks has started consistently rolling on to her tummy to sleep.

Aria will sleep on her side if she is sleeping next to me, although sometimes (50% or more) she would rather sleep ON me at night tummy to tummy. But if she sleeps on her own (naps or if I lay her away from me in the bed) she will only stay asleep if I put her on her tummy. I hate doing it since she can't roll over yet but she wakes up if I put her on her back. I don't worry about it too much since I am either right next to her or walking in and out of the room during her naps to check on her.

Louis started rolling over to sleep on his belly during his naps last week. It freaked dh out a little, but I said, "If he's big enough to roll over on his tummy, he's okay - relax!" I don't like having to be the level headed one of the two of us darn it!

Not here. But both my other boys decided to do that around 6 months when they were constantly rolling around in their cribs during naptime. But it took a few more months for them to do that at night. Interestingly one is now a side-almost tummy sleeper, and the other is a back sleeper who will occasionally sleep on his side.

not here either. isa is still swaddled at night : but she won't sleep any other way... we've tried!

during naps she might occasionally end up on her tummy, but only if she starts out on her side, which is rare.

Ds is still swaddled when he sleeps too. He's just too jumpy not to. He flails his arms and smacks himself in the face and wakes up. Dd had to be swaddled for a long time too.

eta-- He really doesn't flail, now that I think about it. It's more like he stretches, forgets that he's stretching and lets his hand fall back on his face. Or he tries to rub his eyes, but then startles himself by doing it and jumps and then bumps himself again in the nose.

Question for those whose babies are rolling over at night - how do you dress them for bed, esp. those of you who are co-sleeping? Like a few others mentioned, Lucas still is a swaddler though we'd like to try to move him towards not (which is a whole other post). Do your babes have their own blankets?

Anyway, he's moving around more at night and since we co-sleep (sometimes in his attached sidecar crib, right next to me near the crib crack and in between DH and I) I'm wanting to make sure he's safe.

We're just starting EC so I don't want to wrap him in a bunch of stuff though our BR is cold and I like to use blankets.
