My baby girl is the same! You know how most babies dislike tummy time? This girl prefers it to laying on her back, good for her I guess. But same issue as you, sleeps on her tummy 100% of the time. She does know how to flip back and forth. I don’t know how this girl doesn’t wake her self up at night, she’s like a flap jack all night all long. I considered getting this fitted bed sheet that has like Velcro wings to keep baby in place since she moves sooo much: Baby Brezza Safe Sleep Swaddle Blanket for Crib Safety for Newborns and Infants – Safe, Anti-Rollover Blanket in White, by Tranquilo Reste https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07968H54T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_GEFKPJKVYT949Z6X4Y33
Lol no worries. This is what I was looking at and ultimately purchased: Baby Brezza Safe Sleep Swaddle Blanket for Crib Safety for Newborns and Infants – Safe, Anti-Rollover Blanket in White, by Tranquilo Reste https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07968H54T/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_WDAPZQFCY7JZBKE3YTBW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I read that article as well. The one I found wraps around the mattress and has a spot for the baby that is like a diaper. Here is the product: Baby Brezza Safe Sleep Swaddle Blanket for Crib Safety for Newborns and Infants – Safe, Anti-Rollover Blanket in White, by Tranquilo Reste https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07968H54T/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_WDAPZQFCY7JZBKE3YTBW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
My son's pediatrician said we could try it during the day for a nap and guage how we feel about it from there. His main concern is that the swaddle part stays around his waist and doesn't ride up. As far as anti-roll devices are concerned, it seemed fairly "safe."
As a last resort, I would recommend something like this to keep her from rolling over so that you can still swaddle her. Of course, it's not technically approved for safe sleep unless your pediatrician gives it the OK.
This this was (and still is) a lifesaver for us! Best $30 I ever spent. Our LO would roll over and bonk his head on the bars or get his arm stuck. Use it every night!

Sooo, hear me out, you could Velcro her to the mattress…. In all seriousness though, I love this thing. Been using it since he was 6 months old.

So my LO would start at the bottom of his crib and he somehow always made his way up to the top of the crib until we was squished against the rails. He also started to flip over in his sleep causing for lots of wake ups through the night. This product has been a godsend! Now he’s staying put and sleeping 10-12 hours straight!

Our LO was born at 37 weeks and she was 5lbs as well. She loved sleeping on her side and I couldn't sleep. We found this on amazon and it saved us from our anxiety. Not sure how helpful it will be for you but check it out!

Ugh, our seven month old is doing this since this week and I'm done with it already. We flip her back when she starts crying. But now she's started have entire conversations with the wall I guess. And while it's definitely cute I'm so tired and I kind of want to velcro her to her mattrass. Anyway, so I googled whether I could and apparently you can. Did not expect that I must say. It's listed as safe in our country but they advise to discus it with your pediatrician before using it. If this is not over by the the end of the week by god I WILL velcro my baby to her mattrass.
Have you considered an anti-roll swaddle ? They also have pillows that might work.
Sounds like the regression. My LO did this when he went through his and we essentially had to sleep train him again. That, and power through it. As for the rolling, we ended up having to buy this little contraption to keep him on his back. He just can't figure out how to roll back. Until he learns consistently throughout the day (we have been giving TONS of practice) he will likely stay in it unless we attempt CIO but he just gets so scared on his belly when he wakes :/

My son did the same thing. This is what we found that helped:

I had a gf who wanted this as well. I basically stayed up most of the night keeping an eye on her, then disconnected her before I went to sleep. Woke up early and reconnected the rope, before she woke up.
To have someone restrained while their asleep is never a good idea..
I'm not sure if, hmm get/build a large box/coffin that would be tight for them to fit in. But no lid, and have them sleep in it? I kinda doubt it'd be as confining, but it'd be more safe as nothing would be keeping them from getting out.
Another thing I'd tried and this is from a baby product, (we had tried something like this this but didn't work like either of us wanted)

It was kinda cute, I swaddled her like a baby, although I think we needed a bigger blanket (only covered her like a diaper (not a look we liked, rofl), and needed stronger velcro. But it was essentially her but velcro'd to the bed... She could get up if needed (although she had to admit she had to try hard)

You might be able to try something like this
Im pregnant and haven’t had my baby yet, but this terrifies me and I have this on my registry. It’s an anti-rollover thing that wraps around the mattress. Maybe ask your doctor if it’s a good idea?
