My 4 month baby turns on her side to sleep. is it safe ? n is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's OK: Once a baby is able to turn themselves to one side or other in their sleep, it is considered safe to leave them in that position. It is normal, although I'd say she is a bit ahead of the norm in being able to do this.
