8 Month Old Rolls a Lot in Crib

I'm in agreement with Cori - this is a busy time for your little one as she's learning more and more about her own mobility, her body, her person. All these things disrupt sleep and once she gets them down during the day her sleep will improve. Know too, at this time of her life, she's figuring out also more and more that she's a distinct person from mom.

The skills she's learning in being able to move around also means she's going to need more reassurance from you that you are still there - hence there's also a 'clinginess' associated with these milestones. Leaving her to cry will teach her, but it will teach her that you are not there for her, that she is left on her own, that she is abandoned, and her cries don't matter. She may respond by either becoming withdrawn from you, angry, or even clingier during the day. Your sleep is disrupted for now, but stick with her, continue to comfort her as she works through these stages and you'll help her to become a confidant, independent person. Two favorite books that have helped me are "No Cry Sleep Solution" by Elizabeth Pantly and "The Sleep Book" by Dr. Sears. Both are available for cheap from Amazon. Good luck! This is a phase, and it will pass. You will get better sleep soon ... until the next phase!

Have you thought about putting soft pillows around the crib or wall? That way it acts as a wall and she wont get stuck.... just a thought :)

This is normal. She is finding out that she is mobile and is trying it out. When she gets stuck, try letting her be. My daughter (who is 10 months) used to have her legs sticking out of her crib when I picked her up in the morning. She was fine. I think your baby is used to you coming to see her at night, and is expecting it. You might need to let her cry. Or you could come in and put your hand on her and/or talk to her, and then leave. If you can put up with a few minutes of crying, she will learn that it does not work. I have to put up with heart-wrenching cries now and then, but my daughter goes to sleep in 5-10 min. (She doesn't cry before sleeping much anymore.) Remember that you are teaching her to sleep on her own. Good luck!

Does she fit sideways in her crib? Might give her more room to roll without getting stuck. My almost 10 month old is too tall, but in the mornings she's usually sideways anyway on her tummy with he knees tucked and her butt in the air! Just a thought...

Also, at about 8 or 8 1/2 months my daughter was learning to crawl, so she wasn't sleeping well at all. She would get all stuck up in a corner of her bed like that. Practicing crawling maybe? I don't know... Once she actually did start crawling she was fine and sleeping again at night. They say they don't sleep well when they're coming up on a milestone. Good luck!

maybe try to put long round pillow's in the corner's of the crib, not father. you can make them, I would put a blaneket roll it up and then take a sheet and roll that around the blanket that way it was soft but firm, making sure that she is dressed in warm comfterable
sleep wear.
One of my daughter's was a roller, so
I put a smaller crib next to our bed, I would put her right up close to the crib bar's with a nice pillow behind her
to give her good suport at her back and then I wouldl put
a round pillow infornt of her, and when it seemed she was waking up I would just pat her gentley and humm softly
not picking her up, I would also check on her through out the night, it's just part of the job, believe me I know I have five, good luck finding out what really work's for you. I had to find out what worked for us, just hang in there.
you'll make it through.

They sell stabilizers at the store. It is basically a close fitting u that keeps the baby from rolling.
