Oh boy. No sleep for weeks now

M

My LO 4.5 months. He has been rolling constantly, waking himself up everytime he rolls. He has been a wonderful sleeper until.4 month sleep regression hit us hard.

Unfortunately, he always forgets to move his head sideways when he rolls in his sleep. He would just cry and cry while he shoves his face even more on the mattress.

I called doctors and nurses to ask for suggestions on how to help him get his sleep. He would only sleep while I carry him which he also does during the day. He will only nap on me or the swing (supervised). Anyways, one nurse suggested wedges which I insisted was not safe but they argued that sleep is important for him too.

We do PLENTY of tummy time during the day. And he does not have any problem tyrning his head sideways when he is awake. For some reason he is too tired to care so instead he just suffocates himself on the mattress.

I purchased a breathable mattress with a breathable sheet. So hopefully this will help even just a tad bit. 2 weeks in and we are still waking up a lot during the night for every roll we make 😭😭😭

Please give me some hope that this does get better. Also a pic of him side sleeping because I gpt tired flipping him on his back for the 1000th time.

Ps: He gets mad when you roll him back to his back and also gets mad when you try to not make him roll 😂😂😂
