My LO is 5 months old, and has been rolling over from back to tummy for a few weeks now, and for the last week or so, has been doing it much more frequently. However, he has trouble getting from tummy to back. He'll get fussy after awhile so I try to guide him on to his back, but he hasn't gotten the hang of it himself. He usually sleeps from 8:00 to 7:00, but the last few days, he's been rolling on to his tummy at night and sleeping that way until around 5:45, when he gets up and starts fussing because he can't roll on to his back. Any tips on helping them roll on to his back or will it just take time? Should we keep going in there in the morning when he's fussing and roll him on to his back or let him fuss it out? He's normally not fussy at all when he wakes up and the earlier wake up time is putting a cramp in his daytime schedule. Thanks!

Get a sheet or blanket.
Put baby in the middle like a hot dog.
GENTLY roll them around, back & forth while you sing & be silly.
As you roll them it works out their abdominal & center of gravity muscles. It can help them figure out how to roll around on their own.
