Waking Issue

Try to practice when she is not asleep. My son had to go through some physical therapy for his neck issue, but the therapist practiced him to sit down and crawl position. I could not believe how quickly he picked it up. So I ended up teaching him other physical activities, and he learns it so quickly! (It's not like his dad or I am super athletic or anything) I read and sing with him, but never did physical activities and learned that that can be practiced and learned at this young age. (Mine is 7 1/2 mo).

Try a snuggie or wombie! They saved our nights lol!

When I had this problem, I used a sleep positioner. I had one by Sassy that was just two wedges. I had to sew snaps in to my sheets to snap it in place as it was very lightweight and moved easily. I also returned to a full swaddle around this time. Both those things bought me a few weeks until they were more of a hazard than a help.

Try giving her practice time rolling from tummy to back when she is awake.

You are going through a tough time, but your baby is close to working it all out! Best wishes and sleep when you can.

Sorry momma, but the next 2.5 months are going to suck. Between 19 weeks and 26 weeks there are so many major developmental things going on, most babies just don't sleep.

The good news! Around 6.5 months, they start sleeping again.

Hang in there. Cherish those night wakings. They will be gone soon, your baby will be gone soon. She will be walking, talking, and then yelling at you all too quickly.

Yes, it will be a long two months, but as a momma that just came out of it, I can say, you will survive!

My son did the same thing. Seriously I tried everything to patting him to rolled up blankets (which he would just roll over them and I found it silly to prevent him from learning to deal with rolling over) Eventually he figured out it was ok. It seriously did take 2 months. Hang in there and sleep whenever else you can. And Julie V is right there is sooo much going on. Well there is always something going on, but that is a big going on.

You could try giving her lots of tummy time during the day. It might help her remember how to go belly to back, and then she might do better at night. Good luck!

Have you tried rolling her back over onto her back without picking her up? Then, if she's still crying, gently patting her until she's calm. Perhaps you putting her thru the motion of rolling over will trigger something in her to remind her that she can do it.

It's my guess that landing on her face wakes her up and she doesn't think of rolling back over. It's a process she's needing to learn now and just a little bit different than consciously rolling herself over.

why are you putting her back to sleep? my son cries in his sleep and if you leave him it doesn't last long and he goes to sleep on his own. yes she is mad but she is still asleep. quit putting her back to sleep and let her do it on her own.
