    Rolling over in the cot

    My DS is 4 months old and has been rolling over for a while now BUT he has begun rolling over in his cot once he wakes from his first sleep cycle during the day sleeps. Not really an issue if he didn't need more sleep (which he does!). But problem is that he wakes himself up and it takes ages to get him to settle down again. Making Mummy slightly stir crazy!

    Any suggestions? Anyone ever deal with this?

    Hugs. Who would have ever thought that sleep was so tough, right?

    I suppose you could try one of those sleep positioner things, which I think stops them from rolling over (sorry, never actually used one, but I've seen them in Big W etc).

    Thanks Jessica,

    I thought about that but they aren't reccomended by the SIDS specialists and as Mitch is only 4 months his motor skills aren't that great yet if he needed to get it out of his way. Amazing how he can master the rolling stuff but wont push or pull anything - I would have though rolling was way harder!
