now rolling in crib after sleep suit...redo CIO?

yepyepsms

My son was a slow roller (he did it a little in months three and four, then hardly did it, then really stopped once he learned to sit on his own, but now the rolling is back in full force).  We also weaned him from the magic sleep suit four days ago.  So now he is doing a ton of rolling in his crib whereas with the suit he didn't move at all.  He has been waking several times at night, and most times it's because he's done a 90 degree or 180 turn, has a foot stuck, head is up against the crib, etc. 

Question is...should I "redo" CIO to help him solve these rolling issues? What did you do to help your LO get over this phase...or maybe nothing and wait it out?  We are a little behind here so hoping you are way past this and have good advice for me:)

We never used to magic sleep suit, but when I did sleep training with DS at 6.5 months it was primarily to help him learn to get back to sleep after he started rolling a lot and losing his pacifier. He was waking up at least every 2 hours, and I was a walking zombie. We did the SleepEasy program, and it worked very well for us for nighttime. DS still rolls around like crazy, but he gets comfortable and goes right back to sleep. (We do use a breathable bumper, so he doesn't get arms and legs stuck yet.)

You should never do CIO. That doesn't help your LO solve anything. In fact, it causes lots of long term damage to the brain and how your LO handles stress as an adult. Here's a link for you to read.

Just love on your LO. This time fades away quickly.

What kind of hippy dippy BS is that?  I bet your kid will still get a trophy for participation even if his team looses.
