Rolling while asleep

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
My little guy has just learned to roll and apparently loves to practice in his crib in the middle of the night ultimately waking himself up.  He cries because he gets stuck on his tummy, so I have to go turn him over.  We go through this several times a night and it is so frustrating.  I have resorted to putting him back in his RNP just so we can all get some rest, but I hate it because he was doing so well in his crib prior to rolling.  What can I do to keep my LO from rolling while asleep... if anything?

    Ethan did that too.  It was just when he learned to roll it was something new and exciting so he did it a lot.  After a week or so he cooled it on doing it at night (and getting stuck).  But the week to week and a half in the mean time sucked!  lol

    The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

    My Ds is doing this too! The other night I spent from 1a.m.-4a.m. rollling him back over to his back! It is very frustrating! But last night he didn't do it at all! I am just trying to keep him in the crib though. My Ds used to sleep in the RnP too!?

    I have been putting him on his tummy all day in hopes that he will learn how to roll from tummy to back! Good Luck! ?

    Our little guy cried the first few times too.  Then he got to where he would move around for a little bit and go to sleep on his tummy.  Our pedi said that we could leave him that way if he was happy.

    He still hasn't mastered rolling front to back but at least he is happy on his tummy.

    Mine does the same thing!  DS only rolls from his back to his stomach, and then will get stuck and start crying.  He has been doing it for a few weeks, and still is not rolling from his stomach to his back.  Occasionally he will just be content and go back to sleep on his stomach, but most of the time we have to get up and roll him back.  I am just waiting for him to either learn how to roll from his stomach to his back (which I always thought they tended to do first) or just become a tummy sleeper.  Good luck!
