Could you put a rolled up blanket or towel under her crib sheet to keep her from rolling over?

I think C was 5.5 months when the rolling thing hit us hard too. DH was gone for 2 weeks on a trip for work and I did it alone. I appeased her the first couple nights and would go i but after that I was just too damn tired and I had to do some extinction CIO for my own sanity. After a week or so, she got used to it and stopped.

I will say that that 1-2 weeks was the only time in being a mom that I seriously thought I was going to snap and kill someone or something. It's a really, really rough time.

I really hope H starts sleeping again. I feel for you. We've been there.

we have been dealing with this too, the past week. first her tooth cut (first tooth!) and then she mastered rolling to her belly. but freaks and won't roll back even though she is fully capable! my DH doesn't do nights so it's all me...and she rolls in her sleep, doesn't fix her face, face plants, wakes herself up in a panic...repeat. every 15-30m the other night, the nights in between about every 2-3 hours. it's a joy.

no real advice, just commiseration. she's been doing it about a week now so I'm hoping she gets over it soon! although she just started almost army crawling, so I'm thinking it'll be a rough month all around!

@Sparks: I worship those suits!

We had this problem too. She will only roll to the left so she would get stuck against the side of the crib. After 2 weeks of drama she decided she prefers sleeping on her belly so she's STTN again. Good luck!

@princessbaby - I bought ours on Amazon but I checked their website and here's their retailers: http://www.magicsleepsuit.com/pages/retailers

Only a few (bummer!) so I would just go with Amazon. I totally feel for you... when you think something might help you want it right away! Until it comes is there anywhere else she could sleep? A swing? Or you could try rolling up towels and really wedging her in place.

Our regression started at 3 months and went until 6 months!!!! It was one of the hardest stages we went through. I was sooo depressed form being so sleep deprived. I just had to wait it out but by six months I was going nuts so I sleep trained :-/. I don't regret it but know its definitely not for everyone... And only some babies respond to its I sympathize!!!! It WILL get better!

Thats tough Anytime LO goes through these phases we automatically ignore. If we know shes not hungry or dirty we let her CIO. Theres always the teething thing as well which is tough because then you know they are in pain theres only been a few nights where I have picked up LO. Hang in there.

@travelgirl1: i had to laugh at the "firepit" comment, Lily is doing the same after happily sleeping in there since she was 2 weeks old! ugh!

We've had more success with sleep once we started putting A to sleep on her tummy or side so maybe give that a try?

I also found that I dealt with the multiple wake ups much better by reminding myself that she's not doing it on purpose and that LO has LOTS of stuff going on in her brain right now!

@PrincessBaby: we nurse to sleep too and Miss A sometimes cries when I first lay her down but she'll usually settle if I pat her back or leave my hands on her for a minute or two.

@PrincessBaby: he usually sleeps on his side, although all his naps today and now at bedtime, he's been on his stomach! So we'll see how tonight goes...and yup, we did Ferber last weekend. it was great! SO not as scary or bad as I thought it woul dbe...Worked really well, I think he was also "ready" for sleep training. However, this whole rolling thing has thrown a wrench in it, because it seems like Ferber doesn't really work to have him put himself back to sleep when he's on his tummy--he just is really unhappy. I'm hoping he gets used to it!

@travelgirl1: SERIOUSLY. Add in getting pushed around/snuggled against a warm body and having your tush wiped for you--these babies have it MADE.

@hilsy85: I know! Oh to be pushed around in a stroller instead of having to walk...... and to be spoonfed your dinner. Maybe for my next Mother's Day that's what I should request, lol.

@PrincessBaby: In the NICU, they make "nests" from a bunch of blankets rolled together and then put into a U shape. I bet that would work for a couple days!
