    Can she roll over yet? If she can I'd leave her too it and sleep naturally the way she's comfortable.

    my 9 month old always does this has done from about 4 months up used to worries us too, if she naps during the day in the cot watch her for a bit and you will see how she makes herself comfy, it can be as simple as rolling her shoulder makes her comfortable

    Caspa307 i wish she would nap in her cot!! She only naps on the sofa now, she goes crazy if i try to get her to nap anywhere else. It fine now but im back to work in two weeks, my mam will be watching her! My mam has a two year old foster child and i cant see him being happy with her hogging the sofa every day!!! Hopefully my mam can get her out of it!!

    It's very dangerous to let young babies sleep on the sofa. I would try and get her out of that habit as soon as possible.

    My little girl has slept on her side since she was born. It's just the way she is comfortable
