Hmmm... my LO is 5 months old and we have been sleep training for about a month and a half now. She does roll herself from back to tummy, but like your LO, can't roll the other way. To be honest, it doesn't concern me too much but we do have the Angel Care monitor, which gives me a little extra peace of mind, I suppose.

The book I use is "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" and I don't remember any mention of what to do with rolling.

Ugh, I'm so sorry you guys are going through this. It can be really tough, to say the least.

I think if your son is strong enough to roll into his belly, he will have strong enough neck muscles to move his head if he cannot breathe.

I was just forced to sleep train my 6.5 month old son at the beginning at the beginning of this week. Rocking him was not working anymore since it just seemed to stimulate him more and when he finally fell asleep he would wake up again in 45 minutes.

The first night he cried for 40 minutes, slept for about 15, woke up and cried for 30 minutes and then slept for the rest of the night. I napped trained him the next day and he cried for about 20 minutes for the first nap, and only a few minutes for the next naps. But his naps were really short - only 30 minutes. So I think he was super tired b bedtime. The second night, he cried for about an hour before falling asleep. Then he woke up several times and cried about 30 minutes before falling back asleep. Today he fell asleep within minutes with no crying for both naps and bedtime.

So hang in there! It's really tough for the first couple of days but it gets so much better. Good luck!
