Sleeping: It remIns preferential that she sleeps on her back, but at this age ske has such good neck control, it is unlikely anything could block her airway. Trying to position her so that she will not role to her front is an option. All the best.

Pragmatism rules: I always put them down on their back for the first year. Yet I don't fight them when they begin to roll over.The definition for crib death encompasses the first year, but by the time they start rolling the risk has dropped off considerably.Don't spend your nights re-positioning her , just accept that you did what you could to keep her as safe as possible.
