FAQ SleepMilestones 3-6 months6-12 months

Is it safe for a 6-month-old to sleep on their side?

It is common for babies to start rolling onto their sides or stomachs once they develop the motor strength to do so. While back-sleeping is recommended for safety, if your baby is rolling independently, you do not need to wake them to turn them over. Simply ensure their sleep space is completely free of blankets, pillows, or toys, and place them on their back to start every sleep session.
