Is this normal for infant?

Question

So my baby's only 7 days old and right now she's sleeping thank god im awake I look over she's on her tummy by her self.
I know it's not safe I'll keep more close attention but isn't she to young ?

Accepted Answer

A lot of babies can start sporadically rolling early. My guy rolls here and there and has since 2 weeks, but not on queue or everytime. I’d be more concerned about the blanket though. The way it is wrapped if she knew how to lift her head to breathe, or to roll herself back over she could still get stuck and suffocate or hurt herself due to limited mobility,

Answer

She’s a bit young to be able to turn onto her back if she ends up with her face into the bed so make sure to keep an eye out and turn her onto her back when she rolls into that position, when my son was little I got him a rock and play and he loved sleeping in that, it has straps and they can’t turn over in it. Look into it if you’re interested, better safe then sorry.

Answer

My boy rolled into his side at 13 days I remember thinking this was way too early and googling (bad I know) anyway I read an article that stated that some infants have the ability to do this just as a reflex and loose the ability by 1 month old as the brain makes way for absorbing other information.
No idea if it’s true but he didn’t do it again.
She could also be a natural front sleeper but I’d persist putting her down on her back.

Answer

I’d have her in a zip up sleep sack instead of blankets

Answer

Since she’s able to do that the only advice I have is get a Halo Swaddle sack. It’s wearable blanket that Velcro’s really tight and is much safer than a loose blanket. The last thing you need is your sweet girl rolling over onto her face and not being able to turn away from the blanket. My daughter just came home from the NICU and they gave us a free one and she LOOOOOVES IT. Literally the tighter we cinch it the happier she is and it’s usually the only way to calm her when she cries 😂

Answer

I think she's young to be rolling on her own but she's doing it obviously. 
there are things you can purchase that keep you baby in the correct sleeping position I saw then at Babies R Us this weekend. 
the way you have her wrapped in the blanket is concerning though.
she's too small to lift her head and can suffocate ...

Answer

just keep an eye on her when she rolls but I'm sure it's fine as long as her face is laying on its side...i would consider not using any blankets though bc she can get trapped inside it..get her pajamas with feet or a sleep sac..my son loves his sleep sac..he's warm and we're more comfortable knowing that he's safe, warm and cozy

Answer

I feel like this omg babies on belly thing is a little over board.  alot of babies have reflux and are very gassy, sleeping on their belly helps the symptoms of both. think if you are supervising them it's fine. otherwise make sure flat surface and no blanket. my son sleep next to me, so he's always on his side. he has rolled to his belly, butt always turns hiss head. I think babies are made to protect themselves. maybe the ones who died from sleeping on their belly had other outside factors contribute to that result.

Answer

get one of these instead of using a blanket . this is from target. It works just like a blanket but is much safer

Answer

my daughter did this too but not grom day 7..maybe from day 12,14..? cant remember exactly but it was very early.thats the only way she would sleep longer and any residual gas bubbles in her tummy wouldnt bother her .what i did was prop her arm under her head/chin so her face and nose wasnt smushing into the bed/pillow/bedding like how they do in some baby pictures and made sure she was breathing freely.i monitored her carefully and noticed any time she didnt have her arm under and her nose was getting blocked she would jerk her head up and reposition ever so softly lol it was too cute .2 3 times till she was comfy again .Just adjust the blanket safely and it should be good 😊ofcourse be vigilant at all times.Your baby is such a cutie !!
