If L would sleep on his belly I would definitely let him, but he so far seems to hate it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1096971 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 09:56:01 +0000 Smurfette 1096971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Badger: CIO works for us. We just resleep trained her. She was teething and she got use to us going in when she cried, so we had to do the wake ups all over again. Now she is STTN again. She does sleep on her tummy. I am a bad Mom, I just lay her down that way, don't even mess with the back anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1096957 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 09:53:12 +0000 Ms.Badger 1096957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: does she sleep on her belly or back/side now? looks like most here are saying it only gets better when they give in and belly sleep. L does not look like he wants to sleep or relax in any way on his belly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1096171 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 01:27:24 +0000 shopaholic 1096171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Badger: I will admit, we haven't done any "sleep training". I think it was about a week of rough nights with wake ups. Maybe a little bit longer? She will still wake up every night at some point, but most times she can fall back asleep pretty quickly. </p> <p>Lately though, I have been having to go in about once a night because she is scooting and rolling in the crib until her head is smushed against the corner or top edge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1095398 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 16:02:07 +0000 lindseykaye 1095398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Badger: CIO sleep training also worked for us. My LO has been a tummy sleeper ever since she could roll (and that was on the early side), but had several night wakings until we sleep trained at about 9 months. It took a shockingly short amount of time to work (like 3 days). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1095272 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 15:17:30 +0000 Ms.Badger 1095272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SleepyMonkey: I got real close to trying CIO last night. Glad to know that worked for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1095189 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 14:51:50 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1095189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO went thru rolling onto her tummy at night while we were letting her CIO for night wakings, so we never went in to flip her over. She figured out that she can sleep comfortably on her tummy in one night. I don't know if CIO is something you'd do, but it solved it for us really quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1094692 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:26:18 +0000 Ms.Badger 1094692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to bump this thread - how did it turn out for you @shopaholic: and @Phillybaby2013: ? My LO just started to roll and we've had the worst sleep he's ever had the last two nights. The rolled up blankets didn't work for him, he likes to move around in his crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1002138 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 21:05:37 +0000 yerpie110 1002138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is us right now! It's not every night thankfully, but LO is a side sleeper and when she ends up on her stomach, she can't get back (despite being able to roll from back to belly for forever) and she will SCREAM. She has never fallen asleep on her stomach so I'm not sure what the future will hold :/ It happens every few nights, and she'll wake up 2-3 times as a result. </p> <p>Hope it gets better for both of our LOs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1001999 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:45:45 +0000 PrincessBaby 1001999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: No advice, just hugs(()) This is when H's sleep fell apart. She never recovered...I think she got too used to all of motn visits:). As you know, I had to ST at 7mos:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1001990 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:43:20 +0000 Phillybaby2013 1001990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel your pain, B did the exact same thing to me last night! He rolled over to his belly and I guess decided he didn't want to be there but couldn't get back. I was up on and off with him for over an hour until he settled down again. I really hope it's not weeks like @travellingbee said! Hopefully they both figure this thing out soon. Us Mommas need our rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1001980 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:42:20 +0000 Smurfette 1001980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: try rolled up blankets or towels under the crib sheet and see if that helps her stay in her side </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1001969 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:40:20 +0000 travellingbee 1001969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: yeah but it was also in the midst of teething, 4 month regression and pacifier issues. He would get so upset on his tummy. Then all of a sudden he preferred it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1001945 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:37:25 +0000 shopaholic 1001945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: lucky! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1001923 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:33:26 +0000 Smurfette 1001923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as R started rolling she rolls over as soon as I lay her in the crib. It has never been an issue for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1001912 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:31:33 +0000 shopaholic 1001912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: A couple of WEEKS?! eek! I don't think I can handle that! I might need to blow up the aerobed and sleep in her room...</p> <p>@birdofafeather: She never fussed when she rolled over? K rolls over and then wakes up seeming like she doesn't realize how that happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1001876 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:25:29 +0000 birdofafeather 1001876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>once R started sleeping in the crib and could roll, she went straight to her belly and sleeps that way for every nap and night sleep! hopefully K will just get settled in and resume good sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1001872 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:25:02 +0000 travellingbee 1001872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, we just went through this. It took a couple weeks. Now he can roll both ways but usually chooses tummy to sleep on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1001848 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:20:39 +0000 MrsF 1001848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is 10 months and she sleeps on her tummy or side no matter where we put her. I can't quite remember how long she's been doing it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-rolling-amp-waking#post-1001812 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:14:00 +0000 shopaholic 1001812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>O.M.G. The past couple of nights have been exhausting! The first night K decided to roll over in her crib while sleeping, I was a nervous wreck, but SHE slept fine! Turned her head to her side and just peacefully slept away...</p> <p>Night Two of rolling in her sleep was a completely different thing! I think I must have had to go get her 7-8 times! She even set off the Angel Care monitor alarm for real (not just the one or two beeps!) If I flipped her back onto her back, she'd be rolling back before I even moved my hands from her body! I'd try to wait it out, but eventually she'd be doing these "pikes" and thrashing about so much, she totally wakes herself up. Last night was a little better, just 2 wake-ups from rolling, but I'm quite exhausted from all the side turning, cries, and grunts. I know this is quite common, but if it happened to your LO, how long did this last? Did you LO end up being a tummy sleeper? Did you just put your LO to bed on their tummy?<br /> My problem is that I think K is actually a SIDE sleeper, so when she gets on her tummy and can't roll back to her side, she gets all worked up.<br /> If she's 5 months, do you think a wedge positioner-thing would help? </p>
