Baby rolling onto tummy during the night and can't roll back over?

Question

Hello! My daughter has just learned to roll from back to tummy, however she does this in the middle of the night and wakes herself up because she can't roll back over. I have to get up and roll her back over or sometimes rock her back to sleep because she's wide awake at that point. Any suggestions??

Answer

She hasn't been swaddled since about 3 months. She normally sleeps on her side but I think she just moves in her sleep and accidentally rolls onto her tummy. I guess since it's a new position she doesn't like it and wakes up. Hoping she will just get used to it!

Answer

I put receiving blankets rolled up under her sheets she she can only roll on her side not all the way over cause we have the same problem. This works for us for about the last month.

Answer

My son is the same way but will sleep on his tummy for a few hours!!!! If they are rolling it is not safe to swaddle any more

Answer

Does she not like sleeping on her tummy? My litttle one rolls over and I think she likes it better or st least she sleeps better.  We put her down on her back and almost instantly she goes to her side and then her tummy. We leave her bc she's content and can roll both ways.

Answer

I swaddle my baby cause of the same reason. And when he is swaddled he can't roll over and that way I get to sleep in peace.
