rolling bubs
Okay hi girls help me
My sons almost 6 months (5 and 15 days)
He has just learnt to master rolling back to belly but hasn’t at all figured out how to roll from his belly back to his back and I’m having to re roll him every time he gets sooky and starts to not tolerate tummy . Then short while later , he plays with his toys and does exact same thing..rinse and repeat . Sleeps been a nightmare with waking every2 hours because all he wants to do is roll ... 2 questions here though
How do I help him or guide him into learning how to roll himself back over 😂🤣 I’m so tired and it’s cute but it’s frustrating when all he wants to do is roll back but can’t and I don’t know how to help
second question
He’s fallen asleep first time face down .. like right now after his 12.00 am feed
I usually bounce him but I put him down
When to bathroom , he cried
Went silent
I checked monitor and he rolled over onto belly and passed out.
Okay , with everything I’ve said above as context
What the fuqqqqq do I do
Do I leave him
Roll him back over
It’s not a baby safe mattress but I can see one nostril clearly unobstructed
he co sleeps and we have ordered a mattress for his cot as we will begin sleep training once it arrives . Butttttt advice please 🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️

Thought so!
He looks so content lkle when he used to sleep ! It’s been almost a week and he hasn’t really go into a deep sleep himself without my help because of his new skill so this is a bummer I have to roll him back
I will though because I want to sleep and I need an alive child when I wake up 😂
he looks okay how he's sleeping, most bubs love to sleep on their tummy once they start rolling but it is better for him to be on a baby safe mattress.
As a concerned mumma here though, have you had him checked for brachycephaly?
Oh flat head !! Yeah
they just keep saying it will get better in its own but if not in 12 months he will need helmet
It was a lot worse !! I gave him a bubble on his noggin cause I stopped pushing whilst his head was coming out unfortunately but it’s gone down drastically
#ftm things
It’s all sorts of not round
He’s got lymph nodes
intrusions popping out
Flat head and his little cephalohematoma
When he does it while awake try dangling a favourite toy in front of him and then move it to above his shoulder, if he watches it, or tries to grab at it, this should put him in the starts of the rolling position front to back.
He lifted his head last night and looked around briefly and plonked his head back down
I did have to turn his head slightly just so his nose wasn’t covered because he literally face planted when he woke up
Never felt such relief along with anxiety before 🤣 I love the fact he can settle on his belly after the 45 min mark but it doesn’t help my mattress stitch
Think I could be into something here !! I think sleep is back on the horizon 😍
Sooo yeahhh after they learn to roll their sleep goes to shit for a few weeks. Even if they can roll both ways, sometimes they roll in their sleep and wake up and get mad about it. But they're also mad if you roll them back
It's just time. Do lots of floor time to give him time to practice and get proficient at rolling both ways. And drink lots of coffee.
If you've been cosleeping for 6 months, you can keep cosleeping. The risk of sids and suffocation is minimal at 6 months. And also the mattress can't be that dangerous if you've already been letting baby sleep on it for 6 months.
