My DS likes to sleep on his side too! I actually stopped swaddling him the other day because he hates it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-501017 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 21:25:52 +0000 stargal 501017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P did this as soon as we brought him home. He never rolled fully over until weeks later so I owulndt worry. Probably just more comfty to sleep on her side. It made me nervous to and whenever I tried to put him on his back he would just flop to his side 2 seconds later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500954 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 20:43:33 +0000 MamaJ 500954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine LO is the same age and he does the exact same un-swaddled. I do the rolled blanket trick too. The nurse in the hospital told us to. He has been doing it since birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500917 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 20:20:51 +0000 cyndistar3 500917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first lo was rolling to her belly around 2 or 3 weeks and 2nd lo rolled to her side since the first time we laid her down unswaddled (3 days old). Neither of my babies liked to be swaddled though so I never worried about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500904 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 20:15:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 500904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo was a side sleeper too but the swaddle actually helped keep her on her back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500900 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 20:12:37 +0000 mrsmenow 500900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has done this too unless she is swaddled really tight with her legs straight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500815 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 19:31:35 +0000 wheres_c 500815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B does this. I just let him sleep like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500804 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 19:27:03 +0000 iheartleopardprint 500804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD did that too, I just stopped swaddling her and she was rolling properly by 2.5 - 3 months. Now at 4 months she sleeping on her tummy (she rolls onto it). She settles fine not swaddled, and being in the middle of Australian summer it is a lot more comfortable for her too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500719 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:38:27 +0000 boiledpnut 500719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS does this at almost 3 weeks as well. We just leave him alone. If he gets to his belly (he hasn't yet), he's able to lift his head and turn it from side to side already, so we aren't too worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500663 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 17:49:23 +0000 matador84 500663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@princessbaby you won't. Put it tight next to her from the shoulders down. The nurses in the hospital had us doing it because he was rolling from day 1. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500610 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 17:09:01 +0000 rachiecakes 500610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @Bao - if she's comfortable sleeping this way, I'd go without the swaddle. I never had to swaddle-wean J because he was comfortable without from early on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500592 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:58:13 +0000 prettylizy 500592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prettybaby did this at first too when she was H's age if we didn't swaddle her. She didn't start properly rolling until she was 4ish months. If she fell asleep without the swaddle I would let her roll but she never managed to with a swaddle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500586 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:56:07 +0000 lovehoneybee 500586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E started rolling onto his side at about 3 weeks but didn't fully roll over till around 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500580 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:54:35 +0000 Bao 500580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I hear swaddle weaning can be difficult, I say if she is ok sleeping this way, and you would feel more comfortable, then try a night without the swaddle :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500566 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:48:29 +0000 lindseykaye 500566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girl did this from an early age too - 3 weeks! But when she is swaddled she can't get her arm out to roll over so I haven't worried about it. Though I often wish she would sleep without he swaddle, if only because that position is so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500530 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:22:47 +0000 PrincessBaby 500530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: oh geez...Then I will be worried about suffocating her! Great-I'll never sleep again now, I'll be glued to the monitor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500515 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:11:15 +0000 matador84 500515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS did this a lot. I rolled up two blankets and put on each side to keep him from rolling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rolling-onto-her-side-at-55-weeks#post-500509 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:08:58 +0000 PrincessBaby 500509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just busted H sleeping 100% turned on her side...She wasn't swaddled bc I hadn't wanted to wake her before putting her down.</p> <p>Does this mean I should stop swaddling when she sleeps, that she'll be rolling all the way over soon?</p> <p>Very cute trick, but kind of scary! </p> [attach=1247/13/mgj6qz.600x448.image.jpg]
