Well it's been 2 weeks and she has yet to bang her head into the crib! I think she really likes the snug feeling as well. She takes great naps in there for us. I fluff up the nest every time I change the sheets (so every week) because she tends to *try* and smash them down and get over them every few days...but has yet to be successful lol!!</p> <p>Good luck!!</p> <p>as a side note, she now spins during tummy time...no rolling yet, just her turning herself around... hah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1200981 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 08:47:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 1200981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: I had to search for this post- we started swaddling arms out and now we have a spinner! She woke up whining last night but there was this weird banging sound- she was kicking her legs into the slats repeatedly. I may try a nest for the snugness and the spinning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1171631 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 12:42:03 +0000 Bookish 1171631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: The nests are awesome! Night 3 and she managed to spin partway and then got stopped by the nest edge. Works so well! She also STTN last night....but I'm afraid to jinx her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1171356 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:27:56 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1171356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Glad the nest helped some! I hope the 4-month regression ends quickly and everyone goes back to sleeping great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1168247 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 10:19:56 +0000 heartonastring 1168247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD does this too. We were recently at my mum's house and DD slept in the PnP and somehow started the night normally in the PnP (laying lengthwise, at the top end) and by morning, despite being swaddled, had shimmied her way down to the very bottom and turned 90 degrees. </p> <p>She did it in her crib too when we were still swaddling. So we switched her to the Merlin sleepsuit (LOVE that thing) and put the crib "nest" a la Mrs. Blue back in and now she doesn't wiggle around at all.</p> <p>ETA: Just saw your update. That nest is magical, isn't it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1168199 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 10:08:11 +0000 mrsjyw 1168199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: hehe sounds like it'll pass soon! :) ours was only a few days! so there is hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1168172 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 10:01:11 +0000 Bookish 1168172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Me too... it's actually been more amusing than annoying so far. She's started to yell at us! No tears, not scared, just full on annoyed 'whyyyy aren't you in here playing with me?!' We can't help but laugh at her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1168147 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 09:54:56 +0000 mrsjyw 1168147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: yay! and hope the 4 month regression lasts only a short while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1168146 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 09:54:29 +0000 Bookish 1168146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Haha!! Gosh babies are weird ;) It's worth a try to make the nests, for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1168106 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 09:42:28 +0000 Alivoo01 1168106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Yay!! DS spun the opposite way last night. haha! I should make those nests.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1168093 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 09:37:35 +0000 Bookish 1168093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update!</p> <p>After this thread I made a Mrs.Blue- style nest and VOILA! 2 nights of a non-spinning baby! We also seem to have hit the 4 month sleep regression, but hey, at least the goober is staying put!</p> <p>Woot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1165379 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 08:44:01 +0000 Alivoo01 1165379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: haha! I'm thinking about putting DS in the crib perpendicular at the beginning to see if he stills spins or if he just prefers to be in that spot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1165201 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:45:01 +0000 photojane 1165201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd wait it out! As she becomes more mobile it won't be as much of an issue. Sadie has always moved all over her crib. Hitting herself or getting stuck upset her in the beginning, but now she can adjust. She hits her head on her crib several times a night now, but usually isn't phased. She'll move if she's uncomfortable. Sometimes she will let out a little wail, but she doesn't wake up, so I leave her be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1165179 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:35:44 +0000 Grace 1165179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine has been doing this since 4 weeks old in the playpen! Luckily, she doesn't do it in her sleep. I think it happens when she's waking up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1165109 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 06:51:26 +0000 JoJoGirl 1165109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Just wanted to add onto what @Ms.Badger: said - our LO also started to roll back to belly and got very upset when she'd get "stuck" on her belly. The first night that happened (a week ago), I kept going in and rolling her back.. the second night we decided to let her learn to sleep on her belly (or flip herself back) so as long as we knew she wasn't hungry, we let her cry for a bit.. and she did fall back asleep! Different than hitting her head on the crib slats of course, but it did take a few days to learn to sleep on her tummy and her sleep has improved vastly since then. You never know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1164417 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 18:39:16 +0000 Bookish 1164417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: aw don't be scared! I actually think now that it's partly because of her cold...I had to pick her up from daycare today with a fever, so the more frequent spinning the last few days may have been restless sleep. </p> <p>@Ms.Badger: oh man that's rough. Thank you, I'll definitely up the tummy time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1164303 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 17:28:06 +0000 Ms.Badger 1164303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't want to be a super-downer but want to share my experience. My LO started off exactly like this, moving in circles around the crib, he would wake up, but for him this moving seemed to be a way to self-sooth and my DH and I would just laugh at the new position he was sleeping in each time we went to check on him. Then he learned to roll, specifically he loved rolling back to belly but HATED rolling belly to back. He continued to move but would get stuck on him belly and CRY until he was moved. He would not tolerate being prohibited from moving with rolled up blankets under the sheet. For a whole month we were going in at least 3 times a night just to roll him over (add in late night feeds and teething and these are some LONG nights). So my advice - tummy time, tummy time, tummy time and hopefully your LO will roll belly to back so she never gets stuck because nighttime moving may be here to say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1164291 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 17:20:20 +0000 Cherrybee 1164291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have DD in her moses basket, inside the crib. We are planning to remove the basket once this wonder week is over then swaddle wean. Your post is scaring me!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1164182 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 16:15:16 +0000 JoJoGirl 1164182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a nest by her head and it helped until she started rolling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1163328 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:38:07 +0000 sarac 1163328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go straight to a floor bed for this baby, honestly. When my daughter was 8 months old, she was waking herself up banging into the side of her crib. Switching her to a very low full sized floorbed fixed that problem and improved her sleep immediately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1162877 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:56:48 +0000 edelweiss 1162877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would try the nests, or (i know this doesn't sound great) just tough it out until she learns to rotate herself out of the uncomfortable position. it will pass! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1162870 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:54:45 +0000 Bookish 1162870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Babies are soo weird, aren't they? I thought for a while that the a/c vent was hitting her so she was moving to a warmer spot... but the a/c has been off for a week so it's not that. I'm tempted to just rotate the dang crib and see if she still does it ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1162865 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:53:28 +0000 Alivoo01 1162865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has been doing this this past week!!!!! He's 13 weeks old and is always 90 degrees from where I lay him down at. I even tried putting him closer to the rail on the opposite side of where he spins to and his head still touches the opposite rail! He always spins the same direction, and is also swaddled which baffles me even more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1162862 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:52:13 +0000 Bookish 1162862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OHH. Ok. I hadn't ever read her blog post on the nests, but that makes sense! In my head it was up by their heads and it made me nervous... cuddling her legs might work! Duhhr, that's what I get for not reading every blog post ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1162846 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:46:57 +0000 Bookish 1162846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: @mrbee: Ooh good idea. I need to go look at those. </p> <p>@Adira: I know, she's a tricsky hobbits. Such a goober. </p> <p>@looch: No, she ends up with it right in the middle of the front rail. It didn't use to wake her up, but it's getting to the point where at least one time at night she wakes up crying because of it. It may just be something we have to deal with until she learns how to roll. </p> <p>It's pretty amusing, really... it's like she can't figure out how to roll so she just goes in circles :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1162838 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:40:39 +0000 looch 1162838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she sleeping with her head in the corner of the crib? If she's not waking up, i wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1162835 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:40:16 +0000 Adira 1162835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Tricky baby!!!! I have no advice... I can only hope that she'll eventually stop doing it or figure out how to move herself back on her own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1162831 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:38:45 +0000 mrbee 1162831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: Ooh, good idea!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1162826 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:37:00 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1162826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try the nests like Mrs Blue made. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sos-on-lo-spinning-at-night#post-1162815 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:35:05 +0000 Bookish 1162815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: 90% of the time it's the same direction. We thought we had her figured out, and angled her like 45 degrees away, and that night she turned the other way &gt;.&lt; </p>
