Are grobags ok for side and tummy sleeping?

[Sanne Panne]

Our baby currently sleeps in footed sleepsuits but once it starts getting colder we'll want her to sleep in a grobag. She's a side and tummy sleeper though and I wonder if it's easy to change position in sleeping bags, even for smaller babies? I know the advice is for babies to sleep on the back but our daughter is close to rolling over by herself and will make every effort to get off her back.

We never used grobags for our first daughter so it's new territory for us...

Thanks!

Our 9 month old has been in grobags since about 1 month. She started rolling a few months ago and now always sleeps on her side or tummy. She seems perfectly able to move around the cot, go from back to front to side without any restriction! She now even manages to sit up in the cot in her grobag.

She slept in just a nappy a few weeks ago when it was so hot - unfortunately she then was able to take her nappy off in the morning and then got upset when she was lieing in a wet patch! Was glad when it cooled down again so she could sleep in her grobag.

Mine slept in Grobags from about 3/4 months old and eventually rolled all over the cot in them - as they are strapped over the shoulders they just roll with the baby

Yes, they're absolutely fine. My 2 year old still sleeps in a Grobag now, and has been a tummy sleeper from as soon as she could roll.

Thanks for the feedback, looks like we can go ahead and put her in a grobag once it gets colder!
