Rolling Over at Bedtime

Hello, My 6 month old daughter has just discovered she can roll over and has become very good at it, anytime we put her on her back she immediately rolls over on her belly. The problem is when I put her down at night (after a big feed) she rolls over and then gets sick cause her tummy is full, this doesn't bother her but it means I have to change her, the bed etc. I am wondering should I let her go to sleep in my arms (which we've had to do a couple of nights because of this but she's used to going asleep on her own and prefers that) or should we just put her feed back a while before bedtime, she doesn't fall asleep on her belly, she just plays on her belly for a while then cries because she wants to be put back on her back.
Any advice???

Had a similar problem with dd - although she'd roll and crash into the bars of her cot, get herself stuck and wake herself up! We got a bigger gro-bag and tucked the end of it into the matress at the bottom so she could only roll over onto her side. Might this help?

Thanks, we have her in a big sleeping bag, but i'll definately try tucking it into the bottom of the cot tonight!

Hi, Tried to tuck in the sleeping bag but because we have the cot split with a divider it didn't work, last night when I put her down in the 30 seconds I wasn't watching her she managed to turn over and get sick all over the place. Would it upset her routine a lot if I put her last feed back an hour or two??
