A viewer asked:
"Please could you give some advice for an almost 5 month old who rolls onto front every 5 minutes when he's asleep? Really worried about the risks."
Safe sleep advice is for you to always place your baby on their back as part of their sleep routine.
What happens when your baby starts to roll over onto their tummy during their sleep?
The first few times you may want to gently roll your baby onto their back. Don't feel like you have to stay up all night doing this.
Once your baby can roll from back to front, and roll back over again by themselves, they can be left to find their own sleep position.
* Disclaimer: the doll used in the video is used for demonstration purposes only and is way too small to roll over. Babies are normally 4-6 months old before they start to roll over.
