Samantha started rolling over (and over and over!) this past weekend...this week has been horrible trying to get her to sleep and stay asleep! She is constantly rolling herself onto her stomach and fussing herself awake! Uggh! Any suggestions/tips?! I am terrified of SIDS and am kinda freaking out about this tummy sleeping!
Re: Rolling Over Onto Belly While Sleeping
When my girls first started to roll over they did this same thing. Roll onto the belly while sleeping and they would feel stuck and wake up screaming all night long. It was tough, but it didn't take long for them to get the hang of it and finally feel comfortable with being on their belly. Since then, that is the only way they will sleep.
They sell sleep positioners where there are bump type things on both sides of the baby so they can't roll over while sleeping, not sure if this is something you are interested in. You could also give it a few weeks and she will figure it out. Good luck!
We called the Ped yesterday b/c I was terrified of the whole SIDS thing and they said to continue putting her asleep on her back but if she rolls over, she is ok to stay that way. Now that she can roll and lift head up as good as she is, she would be able to move if she needed to.
Thanks for all the thoughts and advice...and for many of you having the same worry I did! ~
