Ladies! Haven't posted in a while but I do need ur input on a on going issue in our household! My LO has been rolling from back to tummy for about 3 weeks now! Fun, fun, fun! However, for the past two weeks, naps and bedtime have been hell since when I put her down to sleep, we can spend about 1 hour going back in and out to "un stuck" her. She rolls to her tummy, giggles for a moment, then screams for my help to put her back on her back.
Any advice? I don't want to let her cry since I don't know if she just want my attention or if she's stuck. Most of the time, she is stuck. Anyone going through this? She has roll from tummy to back only a few times. Tonight, it's been 1hour and a half so far of going in and out. I can see she is tired. I wish I could let her sleep on her tummy but she clearly doesn't like it since she screams for my help.
Re: Rolling on tummy during naps and bedtime
D was doing this in his sleep for about a week then he just stopped. When he would accidentally roll I would let him struggle for 2-3 minutes to see if he would right himself. If he couldn't I would roll him back over.
Not sure why he stopped, he just did. He is also a side sleeper. Maybe he just got better at flipping around in the crib?
This. N used to get pretty spooked when he would roll tohis tummy in his crib. He would cry and I would keep going in and out of his room to roll him back over. I would say after about a week of that, he got used to it. Now he loves sleeping on his tummy.

This happened to us too. It lasted about 3 weeks! It sucked. I always went in and rolled him back over and it took forever to calm him down. I tried everything - I tried propping him up so he couldn't roll all the way over. It didn't work. I co-slept with him a few nights. We increased the amount of tummy time during the day and were tried to teach him how to roll over the other way. Finally, it just clicked and now he sleeps all over the place in his crib. On his tummy, on his side, on his back, at the top of his crib, at the bottom of his crib. It is funny. Hang in there.
Thanks! It just sucks for now. Well, I will wait it out lol
