Getting stuck on tummy at 2am...

Heather5382

My 5 month old keeps rolling herself onto her tummy in the middle of the night and then freaking out. She knows how to roll over but seems to forget in her sleepy state and just cries and gets herself hysterical until I come in and roll her back over. Then there is 10-15 mins of soothing before she'll go back to sleep. Any suggestions for how to fix this problem? She did it 4 times last night! She had been sleeping through the night beautifully until this... please help!

Both of mine are doing this. It's super fun isn't it!?    Everyone I've talked to about it says it's just "another phase" that they'll figure out soon. I'm exhausted.

DS does something similar.  He's just started crawling, so he'll wake up and immediately get on all fours and cry hysterically while running into the side of the crib.  I think it'll stop as they become more skilled and these skills are more second nature.
