XP: 1st roll yesterday, now scared of TT?

So B did his first belly to back rollover yesterday. Today, he immediately starts screaming, face-plants into the mat, snot smearing on the mat-crying hysterical. He won't flip again. Has anyone else's LO done something similar? Did we overdo it praising him and getting excited that we scared him from TT?

Re: XP: 1st roll yesterday, now scared of TT?
We've had to TT sessions where LO rolled tummy to back a few times in a row. He is sooo sporatic with it he hasn't done it in a week or so. Sometimes we're good with TT others he hates it and his head slowly bobs down to a face plant (that line made me chuckle!).
Neh...keep praising him. I'd just stick with it. My LO now just sits there sometimes with his head way up until he gets tired of doing it and fusses. I figure he'll do it when he wants to.
His roll over yesterday was very likely a fluke. However, he probably ow he knows it can be over if he flips and he can't figure it out.
He's still little. It will happen again.

A lot of kids roll to their tummy and can't figure out how to get back. If they do it while sleeping, leave them be. Give them lots of floor time (and praise) during the day. My DD forgot how to roll the other way, would get ticked etc, but she's sleeping better than ever on her tummy and now she's all over the place. Just roll with it.
Don't stress and don't always try to "rescue" him when he's there and a little ticked off. It's good for their development to try and figure it out for a bit. And like I said, don't waste your time flipping in the middle of the night. Most pedi's agree that once they flip (even if they can't go back) to just let them be.
