DD can't get off her belly in crib

I have to keep going in to flip her over. She flips right back and cries until I am able to flip her to her back....repeat. I am exhausted!

When will she learn to flip back over?????

DS went through a similar phase. He could roll over completely when awake, but he got stuck on his belly while sleeping and would scream for me to flip him. For us, this went on for a couple weeks. To keep my sanity, I let him sleep in his FP rocking chair at night and let him nap in his crib during the day. Once I saw that he stopped getting stuck on his belly during naps, I let him sleep in his crib again at night.

DD is 6 1/2 months and doesnt flip back on her own all the time. She does fall asleep on her belly sometimes once she flips but I usually have to go in there and turn her head to the side bc she doesnt always do it on her own.

Ugh, we went through that phase too, totally annoying! Did your baby just master rolling over? It seems that whenever there is a developmental milestone like that, it affects their sleep. We are now dealing with DS crawling in his sleep... I kid you not.

It took Grahm a couple of weeks to get used to his new ability and to stop doing it in his sleep. He just stopped rolling over after a while, but my pediatrician said that alot of babies just end up getting used to sleeping in their bellies. In anycase, I hope that you get back to normal sleep patterns fast!
