He actually rolled to his tummy and fell asleep like that...so there's hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-781817 Tue, 14 May 2013 22:32:21 +0000 erwoo 781817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw... hang in there. I think it's all part of learning new things for them. At least it was for both my boys as infants. Hope he gets comfy with it soon and sleeps better. My husband used to freak out whenever our boys (as babies) would sleep on their bellies. Thank goodness for video monitors! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-781807 Tue, 14 May 2013 22:27:17 +0000 Weagle 781807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every time this thread pops back up I totally miss the time stamp and can't figure out why T is still giving you fits with his rolling :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-781785 Tue, 14 May 2013 22:14:52 +0000 wheres_c 781785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok this needs to stop!! He needs to either roll back over or go to sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747944 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 08:50:56 +0000 hilsy85 747944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: ha yeah...good sleep is a ghost in this house :) i hope the regression passes you by! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747941 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 08:49:04 +0000 Andrea 747941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: ack! Ok, so I shouldn't be too excited yet. She turns 4 months next week so I am already fearing that regression along with this. Fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747940 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 08:46:55 +0000 hilsy85 747940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: it's very on and off with us...last night he was fine and was able to roll back to his back. But a few nights ago, he was up and screaming about it twice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747931 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 08:38:51 +0000 NovBaby1112 747931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here! Some nights she is fine on her belly, but others, she wakes up crying....hoping once she learns to roll back things will get better!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747928 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 08:33:17 +0000 Andrea 747928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: @pinkb: @TurtleDoves: @hilsy85: how did it go for you guys last night? It was night 2 for us and she slept pretty well on her belly! It was just a challenge to get her to go down initially but the rest of the night was normal. Whew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747879 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 07:44:06 +0000 hilsy85 747879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Lo is totally doing this too!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747660 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:21:53 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 747660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Erin, get back here and update us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747611 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:48:36 +0000 pinkb 747611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Been trying to deal with this for a little over a week. It was seriously freaking me out and I could not sleep at night! I have been doing a lot of tummy time trying to get her use to rolling, still isnt consistant though. But we are getting there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747604 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:44:15 +0000 wheres_c 747604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are here too! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747521 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:22:07 +0000 Andrea 747521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: with my first daughter, she just got used to sleeping on her belly and that became her preferred position. I am just assuming my second will do the same but maybe not. Sigh. I am just chillin having some wine. It has been a long week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747507 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:12:34 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 747507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: we are here too.<br /> I stuggled for weeks trying to figure out why my son was waking up all of a sudden. Well, yeah turns out the common denominator in all his wakings is that he is on his belly and he is FREAKING out. Ah...Just roll over.<br /> I hope this is a phase. Maybe i'll invest more time during the day to teach him how to roll back over. I thought he could, but apparently not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-747437 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:43:08 +0000 Andrea 747437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: funny...now baby K is doing this and I found this old thread. She will not stay on her back but cries when she rolls over. Sigh. I am just sitting here letting her cry in the hopes that she will pass out soon. Oh babies are so silly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331658 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:14:48 +0000 chopsuey 331658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO would roll on her belly and wake crying too.. I would have to flip her and she'd fall back asleep.<br /> She got used to sleeping on her belly and eventually realized she can roll back over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331642 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:11:03 +0000 kiddosc 331642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E rolls over constantly, except that he hasn't learned to roll from his tummy to his back yet nor has he figured out how to turn his head to the side and go to sleep. So he's left propping himself up on his arms or faceplanting into the mattress. I was so paranoid he'd faceplant into the mattress and smother himself. If we went in to roll him back to his back he would immediately roll back over to his tummy... goofy kid. We ended up tucking him into a blanket that is tucked under the mattress, like a bedtime seat belt. It's worked really well for us so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331629 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:05:12 +0000 Honeybee 331629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know why, but both of my kids have done this! I just flip them on their backs, and they seem to get over it in about a week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331378 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:39:00 +0000 BananaPancakes 331378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son did this for a good 2 months (except he was a belly sleeper) and has just recently started getting himself where he wants to be. I always helped him back to his belly because he'd really wake himself up crying. He'd go through days where I'd have to flip him like 6 times at night. But it gets better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331350 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:26:49 +0000 Mrs.M57 331350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lily has done this since she was like 3 1/2 months! It is weird, because I know she can roll off of her belly during the day. She woke up screaming on her belly last night. I would let her sleep on her belly, but she screams! Silly babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331248 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:27:42 +0000 winniebee 331248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cram88: That's what I told my husband - put him on his back always and if he rolls to his belly don't move him. Sometimes I wish we had a movement monitor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331226 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:21:28 +0000 cram88 331226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They say that even though they roll onto their bellies to sleep you should put them in the crib on their backs the first year for SIDS. Buttttt I'm a bad mom and put him in last night on his back and he started rolling immediately so I helped him onto his belly and he went right to sleep. Oh well, sleep won at 2:30 am :(</p> <p>@winniebee: I hope both baby and husband get used to him sleeping on his belly soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331212 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:15:58 +0000 mediagirl 331212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M does this exact same thing. She is not consistent with her belly to back rolling but she loves rolling back to belly. Problem - she won't roll back to her back again. She rolls over, pushes up and then starts crying because she wants to be on her back again. Thankfully it doesn't happen all that often but when it does, it is frustrating! She usually does it when she's drowsy ... she will shove her thumb in her mouth and then roll towards it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331200 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:10:04 +0000 winniebee 331200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cram88: my husband was very freaked that he was belly sleeping last night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331197 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:06:36 +0000 cram88 331197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Ohhhh husbands haha I would have been mad too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331195 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:04:16 +0000 winniebee 331195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: They are indeed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331193 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:03:40 +0000 Andrea 331193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: i think his annoyance will go away soon! it's a phase that will pass (aren't they all?). :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-why-is-he-doing-this#post-331187 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:01:54 +0000 winniebee 331187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cram88: My husband went to check on him last night at 11 because he was sleeping on his tummy and I"m 95% sure that my husband poked him because he woke up and started crying. My husband claims he was "already awake." I was beyond mad. </p>
