Hello All
I feel like I have a newborn - my son is 6 1/2 months old.
He is a tummy sleeper and has learnt to roll over to his back more than a month ago. Since then, I have been getting up and flipping him back onto his tummy whenever he does so. Last night I got up 13 times.
I can't do it anymore!
The thing is, he does'nt even try to roll the other way. He just screams. He sits up really well and is a strong boy - he should definitly be able to do it!
When he was about 4 months old I shht-pat him. Now he seems to get angrier whenever he sees me in his room. I don't know if I should do pu/pd, as it is not sleep that is the problem, is the rolling over thing. As soon as I flip him over - he goes back to sleep immediatly.
I have been told that this would soon pass, and that he will learn to roll over the other way. Well, it's been more than a month and he is still not even attempting.
Another thing is that I have NEVER seen him roll over when not in his crib. He ONLY does it at night!!! When I try to give him some practice during the day, he lifts his arms and legs, arches his back and screams!!!
Any suggestions (before I go mad!)
