Five months and she's rolled into her front at night. Panic?
She flips herself onto her stomach the moment I put her down. I know the back-to-sleep rule. Nobody told me what to do when she has other ideas at 5 months. Do I flip her back all night forever?

I flipped mine back for two weeks straight before someone told me this. Two weeks of no sleep for nothing.

'The rule is about how you place them.' Nobody has ever explained it that way and it's such a relief.

Exactly this — put down on the back, and if she rolls herself over, that's her call. The rule is about how you place them, not about holding them there.

Once they can roll themselves both ways, guidance is you put them down on their back and let them do what they do. You are not required to flip her all night.
