Baby getting stuck on stomach at night+

Richardsmom_817

So, my 6 month old has been transitioned to the crib for the most part, except for maybe 1 nap per day, still in the bassinet or swing.  The thing is, she's rolling over onto her stomach in the middle of the night & getting stuck & very ticked off....she will scream & scream & wake my 20 month old up, of course.....she was a very late roller (5 months old) & has just started rolling recently, but doesn't have very good strength yet to get herself over sometimes, so she gets stuck.  Any suggestions?

Honestly?  I think it is one of those things she is just going to have to figure out.  It seems like it takes a week or 2.  Put a sound machine or noise maker in your sons room and see if that helps him to sleep a little better.

Your kids are adorable!  Your DS is just older than my DD1.  I don't remember seeing you had 2 DD's though!  Congrats! 

My first thought was a sleep positioner, but she is really too old for that and it would be really short lived.  I think you just have to work it out.  Are the girls in the same room?  If so, also tough....  white noise machine may help.  My girls also have a lullaby CD that runs all night, on repeat.

Thanks!  My girls are 14 mos apart.  I figured she would have to work this one out, but hopefully it happens sooner rather than later!!!  I think it will...she's starting to roll more throughout the day when I put her on her mat...by now, my other DD was rolling all over the room..LOL...they are all so different.

It's funny how different all kids are!  14 mo apart!  You are a brave, brave woman!  I get looks for having a 2 & 4 yo & being PG.

Agh, we went through that as well. It was quick lived though. Maybe a week or so. Now she enjoys sleeping on her belly. My son has a noise machine in his room and that seems to help sometimes.
