Hellobee Boards

I don't think he is used to sleeping on his belly yet. Once he gets used to it, then he won't wake up if he rolls from back to belly.

@winniebee: i think his annoyance will go away soon! it's a phase that will pass (aren't they all?).

@winniebee: Ohhhh husbands haha I would have been mad too!

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.

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.

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.

@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.

@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!

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!

@TurtleDoves: Lo is totally doing this too!!!

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!!!

@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!

Ok this needs to stop!! He needs to either roll back over or go to sleep!

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!

ugh we are in this boat right now. she just mastered rolling back to front last week, and still freaks out if she's on her belly for too long. she rolled belly to back at 11 weeks!
