Rolling over?

Question

Has anyone experienced their NEWBORN rolling over? My little girl has rolled to her side ever since we brought her home from the hospital. Idk if this is common and she won't actually roll all the way over, but I was wondering if anyone has gone through this? 
I am wondering because I need tips on how to put her to sleep at night. I feel too scared to swaddle her because I'm afraid that she'll roll all the way over.

Answer

My newborn does the same thing. She only likes sleeping on her side. I actually ended up putting rolled up towels on the sides of her body (not head area) to keep her in place.

Answer

Yep! It’s called the newborn curl. Totally normal.

Answer

Same here, baby rolls to her side since day one and sleeps that way quite often too. We don’t swaddle her because she hates when she can’t move her arms anyway. I have so many beautiful and expensive swaddles but both of my kids hated them. And they also hate pacifiers.

Answer

My daughters done the same since she was born, she’s 5 weeks 4 days now, she would always roll into her side in her bassinet, so now I put the nursing pillow at the end of her bassinet and swaddle her up and put her in the nursing pillow so her lower half is surrounded and she can’t roll over! Works like a charm

Answer

My daughter has been rolling over to her side since we brought her home as well. She does also roll onto her stomach. We talked to her pediatrician and she said not to swaddle her at night Incase she does roll onto her stomach so she can prop herself up if need be.

Answer

My son did the same thing because he would wiggle until his hands were out.  He now sleeps with his arms up on either side of his head like making a touch down pose.  We ended up using the halo sleep sack and left his arm out at night or using a swaddle below the armpits and have had no issues with him trying to turn since.
