Leave LO or roll LO onto their back? LO is 7.5 months old.
-
Leave. Once they are rolling let them position themselves, make sure to ditch the swaddle though.
-
I agree, leave them. DD started sleeping on her tummy around 5 months. She won't sleep in any other position now.
-
Leave him.
-
DS does the exact same thing, just leave him
-
We haven't swaddled since 2 months.
-
Just leave him...LO started sleeping on tummy @ 6 months and no matter how many times we tried to put her on her back, she kept rolling back to her tummy
-
Leave him. LO has been sleeping on her tummy for naps since 10 weeks, night since 4.5 months.
-
Leave. If they can roll to tummy they can roll back.
-
I think he rolls on his tummy and then crawls around till he falls asleep because he is nowhere near where I leave him when I put him to bed. I woke up this morning to him staring straight into the baby monitor "morning mom!"
-
@littlek: LO stares into the monitor sometimes, too. Especially at night. Freaks me out!
-
Leave. DD is a week or two younger and she sleeps better on her tummy. I always put her down on her back though.
-
lol! I say leave him. If he can get there on his own it's cool. Prettybaby is all over the place these days. Most mornings I find her scrunched up at the bottom of her crib under her aquarium staring at her fishies.
-
My LO has been sleeping like this since 4 months old when he learned to roll - leave him!
-
lol! leave him! When LMW started FINALLY sleeping on her belly she started STTN! She still has a hard time rolling (she is really big and heavy!) so some nights we put her down on her back and she wakes 30 mins later really pissed that she can't get onto her belly. If she can't make it onto her belly by 5 minutes, we go in and roll her and she falls right to sleep immediately!
-
Funny enough, he sleeps better on his belly.
-
Leave. Once we ditched the swaddle and RNP, he rolls happily in his crib onto his tummy. We've found him with his hand/arm on the crib side closest to the wall. Sometimes, it wakes him up. Other times, we've found him rolled towards the front of his crib with his hand sticking out of the crib.
We were strongly urged by our daycare to unswaddle him and let him roll because he sleeps that way there. Once we did, our sleep has improved minus last night, stupid teething.
-
@cascademom: Ugh, teething.. LO STTN except the rare occasion he wakes up with teething pain.. but you can tell it's coming because of bottle strike, pink cheeks and all the drool...
-
@littlek: I think most babies do!
-
@littlek: We don't have a lot of drool right now, but definitely have pink cheeks. He was sleeping better a couple of days ago, then last night there were 4 wakeups in 4 hours. We did the normal needs assessment too and nothing! I checked his gums when we put him on the bed this morning. I saw some bumps on his gums that looked new. He's getting a baby Tylenol dose at 1am if this continues tonight.
ETA: He's breastfed and has been super needy with the boobs lately. My husband kept on pushing feedings, but I kept on saying that the wakeups were something else. When I fed him yesterday, he sucked so hard it hurt like clamped down, so that's where I'm coming up with the teething.
-
I started leaving LO on her stomach once she was in her room and we sleep trained her (started at 5.5 months). She seems to sleep better on her stomach and I figure if she can get there on her own, she's fine.
-
E has started sleeping on his tummy. If I try to flip him back onto his back he either wakes up crying and turns right back onto his tummy or does it without waking up. I check on him from time to time to make sure his nose and mouth are clear of the mattress, but otherwise leave him be. He sleeps longer and better on his stomach.
