Any advice on how to help my daughter sleep on her side?

Hi

My 8 month old seems to try and strain to lie on her side at night but ends up twisted over and wakes herself up. Any idea on how I could prop her, have tried a rolledup blanket but she just flops back over and is then uncomfortable lying on top of it so wakes up! (plus not keen on leaving a blanket loose in the cot).

Tried and tested methods if you have any please!

Thanks

Jenny

My daughter was the same at this age and I bought a snoozzz sleep wrap (from babyreflux.co.uk) which did the trick. We only used it for about a month as she soon got much better at getting herself in the position she wanted to (I only put her in it at night, not for naps).

Hi,

You could also try bolster cushions either side of her so keeping her in position like this one .

And you dont have the worry of loose blankets, I know how to make your own if you would like to PM me.

Hi Jenny,

Both of ours have been side-sleepers- I used a 'v' shaped/ breastfeeding pillow to prop them up. Probably terrible parenting, but they're both still alive and kicking....
