Stop a Sleeping Baby From Rolling - Place your baby on her back to sleep. Do not put your baby on her side because she could possibly roll on her stomach from this position.
Make your baby's bed so she can't move out of the position you put her. If your baby is at least a year old, it is usually safe for her to use a blanket. Tightly tuck in the blanket at the bottom and sides of the mattress and place her feet closest to the bottom. A tightly made bed may stop her from rolling onto her side or stomach while she's sleeping. Tuck as much of the blanket under the end of the mattress so the exposed portion is long enough to cover your baby only from her shoulders to her toes.
Stop a Sleeping Baby From Rolling
Wrap your baby in a blanket to sleep if she is at least a year old. If she uses her arms or legs to push herself onto her side or stomach, limiting her use of her limbs while she sleeps may help. Fold a swaddling blanket in half diagonally, then bring in each corner toward your baby so the blanket fits snugly. Fold the excess underneath your baby. Don't cover her head or wrap the blanket too tightly.
Your baby's sleeping position is important because it could affect her health or even put her life in danger. Sudden infant death syndrome is a rare but frightening occurrence and is sometimes attributed to babies' sleeping on their stomachs. Even if you're putting your baby to sleep on her back, she may be rolling over onto her side or stomach. This can be frustrating and frightening. - by eHow
