Spinning baby!
Hi everyone
Baby Picky is now just over 4 months and now he's trying to become more mobile, he has taken to spinning around in his cot (it's a cot bed), full 360 degrees sometimes! He will kick himself round until he is upside down (instead of being feet to foot in the cot, it's head to foot) or will end up across the cot. He's in a grobag as there is no chance of him staying under covers as he's always kicked them off, so I'm not so worried about him getting jumbled up in the blankets etc, but I am obviously aware of the feet to foot advice. I know you can get things that kind of wedge baby in position at night, but I would have thought that would make him hot. Has anyone else had experience of this, and if so, how did you solve it, or did you just let baby do what he likes? Thanks in advance

Sounds like you're doing the best thing by keeping him in a grobag-I did the same as I just could not stop mine, now he's 8 months and decided 2 months ago he wants to sleep on his front-all the advice says not to let him but he can roll over easy enough on his own-at first I started stressing and going in every hr to turn him over-to no avail. I reckon he'll be alright, lol!!
Take care
