My 3 month old keeps wiggling Over to the side of her bassinet and has her face pressed against the bassinet wall we keep moving her back but she doesn’t stay there. The sides are mesh do I need to worry

There is no need to stop your baby from wriggling & changing her position, but it is important to make her environment safe in light of what she is doing.
Many babies will wriggle & change position (like you describe)  This is very normal.

How does she go with tummy time?
It is not unusual for baby to be wriggling/rolling at 3mths. She may not be far from rolling now.
Some babies will wriggle to try to get their arms out of any wrap, & often like to touch their face or suck fingers.

Most babies will be rolling over by 4-5 months…....some earlier, some later.
This is very normal as babies grow & become stronger many babies then prefer to sleep on their tummy &/or side.
Are you still wrapping/swaddling her? It is important that you modify her wrapping now, to allow arms free, or cease wrapping.
*Baby needs arms free & the space of the cot to roll safely.
*It is important that you move her from bassinet to her cot now.

Once she is rolling it is important to make the environment as safe as possible for this to occur.
Continue to always place baby on the back to sleep.
Ensure cot mattress is firm, well-fitting & flat.
Ensure there is nothing loose or soft in the cot.
Preferable to use a sleeping bag when rolling that has appropriate size neck & arm holes.

Red Nose has the following information when baby is rolling.
Give baby extra tummy time to play when awake and supervised as this helps baby to develop stronger neck and upper body muscles which in turn enables them to roll back over.
Make sure that baby is on a firm and well-fitting mattress that is flat (not tilted or elevated).
Make sure that baby’s face and head remains uncovered (do not use lambswool, doonas, pillows, cot bumpers or soft toys)

As babies grow and develop they become very active and learn to roll around the cot.
At this time, continue to put them on the back at the start of sleep time, but let them find their own position of comfort.
By this stage it is not necessary to wake during the night to turn baby over to the back position

*Do not use any devices designed to keep baby in a particular sleep position.

Anyone know the answer to the actual question? It’s it safe?

A baby of 3 months who is wriggling &/or rolling to side of bassinet needs to be moved to their cot & no longer swaddled/wrapped- they need the space of the cot & arms free to be able to roll/move safely.
The re is evidence that a baby who is rolling in a bassinet may be at risk of getting stuck in an unsafe position…... particularly if they are still swaddled/wrapped.

What difference does a side being mesh make to wooden slats of a cot? Is the mesh less safe?

The original question was in relation to a baby in a bassinet with mesh sides, not a cot.
This was the initial question -
“My 3 month old keeps wiggling Over to the side of her bassinet and has her face pressed against the bassinet wall we keep moving her back but she doesn’t stay there. The sides are mesh do I need to worry”

The issue is not the same when baby is in a cot, as they have the space to roll safely (when not swaddled)

My 3 month old is doing the same, if I move him into a cot with his arms out of the sleeping bag, he’d have to go in his own room (opposite our room) however shouldn’t I still be sleeping in the same room as him until at least 6 months old?  The cot won’t fit in the bedroom.
Thanks in advance

Most babies will be rolling over by 4-5 months…....some earlier, some later.
Often, they will start wriggling to side of bassinet prior to rolling
This is very normal as babies grow & become stronger many babies then prefer to sleep on their tummy &/or side.
Once rolling or attempting to roll the following is important:
*Time to stop swaddling/wrapping.
*It is important that you move him from bassinet to his cot once rolling.
*Baby needs arms free & the space of the cot to roll safely.

Once he is rolling it is important to make the environment as safe as possible for this to occur.
Continue to place baby on the back to sleep.
Ensure cot mattress is firm, well-fitting & flat.
Ensure there is nothing loose or soft in the cot.
Use a sleeping bag when rolling that has appropriate size neck & arm holes, rather than swaddle.

Will a portacot fit in your room?
You could try that for a short period & then transfer to his cot in his room.

Red Nose has the following information about roomsharing.
“Parents are not expected to observe their baby constantly. If your baby is sleeping in a separate room check baby regularly to ensure that the baby remains on the back and the head and face remain uncovered”

My little one is 8 weeks old (age adjusted he is 5 weeks old because he was born premature). We are in the same situation, he is wriggling to the corner of the bassinet. The walls are mesh, like the original poster, do we also need to move to a cot? What if he does the same there?

Are you wrapping/swaddling him?
Some babies do not respond well to wrapping but like to have their arms free to touch their face &/or suck on their fingers.
Often they will wriggle in an attempt to get out of the swaddle.
You may like to wrap him with arms out (using a muslin/cotton wrap)

Babies can always go to a cot from birth….. if he continues to wriggle to the side of the bassinet, you may need to consider moving him to his cot.

Our baby is 9 weeks old and can completely roll onto her tummy. She usually gets frustrated though and hasn’t figured out how to roll back over yet. Do we need to move her from her bassinet to her crib? I read that it’s not good to sleep in a room separate from them until they’re 12 months old so I’m concerned to put her in her crib but don’t want to leave her in the bassinet if she’s outgrowing it with the rolling around.

Red Nose recommends that baby is moved from bassinet to a cot once they show signs of rolling.
Also cease wrapping/swaddling.
Babies need arms free & the space of a cot to roll well & safely.
​** Continue to always place baby on the back for sleep
Increase her tummy time when awake.

Have you tried rolling her back when she gets on her tummy during sleep?
What happens if you roll her back.

Red Nose recommends room sharing for the first 6 months, however, safe environment for the baby is important.
If baby is rolling, then moving to cot is important to maintain a safe environment.
Red Nose has the following information about room sharing.
“Parents are not expected to observe their baby constantly. If your baby is sleeping in a separate room check baby regularly to ensure that the baby remains on the back and the head and face remain uncovered”

Red Nose has the following general information now that she is rolling.

“Give baby extra tummy time to play when awake and supervised as this helps baby to develop stronger neck and upper body muscles which in turn enables them to roll back over.
Make sure that baby is on a firm and well-fitting mattress that is flat (not tilted or elevated).
Make sure that baby’s face and head remains uncovered (do not use lambswool, doonas, pillows, cot bumpers or soft toys)

Once baby can roll confidently from front to back, and from back to front, continue to settle them on their back, but allow them to find their own natural sleeping position. Once baby is able to roll in both directions, it is not necessary to wake during the night to turn baby over to the back position.

As babies grow and develop they become very active and learn to roll around the cot.
At this time, continue to put them on the back at the start of sleep time, but let them find their own position of comfort.
By this stage it is not necessary to wake during the night to turn baby over to the back position

Do not use any devices designed to keep baby in a particular sleep position.”

My 3 week old is wearing the ‘Love to Dream’ swaddle suit. He seems to be doing the ‘newborn curl’ and wriggling around in his co sleeper. Yesterday I woke up to him right against the side of the bassinet! The side isn’t mesh and is the CoZee brand. He doesn’t like being swaddled and I’m scared to tuck his arms in a regular swaddle in case he rolls over. Can you please suggest what we do?!
