My son is so squirmy at night, no matter how I position him, he always is down at the bottom of the bassinet when I go to get him at night. Does anyone know how to help prevent this?
I also know that babies need to sleep on their back but my son likes to sleep on his side. How do I get him to sleep on his back?

We kept our babies on their sides. We used a sleep positioner. And for squirmy babies we used the burrito wrap method.

Do you swaddle him tightly? They can't squirm so much if they are snug in a blanket. Daughter mostly slept on her tummy so I can't help much w/ side sleeping...maybe use rolled up blanket to prop him on his side?

My babe is squirmy as well, I have just moved her into her cot from her bassinette and I found a baby roll preventer thingy in a shop. basically u place ur baby between the sides on their back and they are unable to roll over in the night.
I find this also helps to keep the blanket on them as well..... The only thing rachel is able to do when she is awake is squirm out of it - but she has to be awake to do it. hope this helps :)
