In reply to Colleen Michalczyk. Hi @Colleen - Thank you for writing to us! So sorry that your little girl is waking so unhappy when she rolls onto her back! This IS definitely exhausting, so hang in there! The good news is that this is a relatively short time period, even though it may feel like forever! She will learn to roll back over and this will hopefully help quite a bit! You can work on helping her roll both ways while she's awake to help her master this! Do make sure that her doctor clears her for stomach sleeping first too, and the tips on this page should help as well! Good luck Colleen!

Hello @Iferne –
Thank you for writing to us and for sharing about your little one’s rolling! It is common for babies to wake partially (or fully), so you’re not alone! Feel free to use all of the tips on this page for help – and help her roll back over if that helps her back to sleep. Practicing rolling back and forth both ways in the awake hours is a good way to help too! Good luck Iferne!

My 9 week old has only been stomach sleeping because that is literally the only way she would sleep and now she is rolling into her back and she hates her back so much that she wakes up screaming so loud several times a night and it is so exhausting because she wants to eat each time and i find Iam up almost all night! She seems so young for this what should I do?

My 7 month old has been rolling for 2 months. Recently she’s started rolling onto her stomach when she sleeps at night (doesn’t seem to happen during the day). I’m not bothered by the rolling, but the problem is it seems to wake her up. She’ll lift her head up and open her eyes and cry.

In reply to victoria. Hi Victoria, Thank you for visiting The Baby Sleep Site! It's so great that your daughter is learning to roll! When a baby acquires any new skill, we do often see some additional tiredness, so what you're describing can be normal. I hope this helps!

hi my 4.5 month old baby started to roll from her back to belly 3 days ago. I wanted to check whether this can affect her energy levels as she seems to tire a lot faster and would fall a sleep at shorter intervals i.e. previously she sleeps every 2 hours now she will be very tired by 1.5 hours

In reply to Jen. Hi @Jen - Thanks for writing to us about your 4 month old! We know that this time can be tough, especially when baby is practicing her new-found, or new-remembered skills all night! Things should smooth out, once she has mastered this, and doesn't "need" to practice all night! Give her plenty of time/opportunity during her awake times, to practice these skills too, to help her get good at this. You can help her to roll both to the left and to the right too! Hopefully things will smooth out very quickly! Good luck Jen, and please feel free to contact us at any time if you'd like more help!

My 4 month old has been rolling over and sleeping on her tummy for about a month now. 2 days ago, she just remembered she knows how to roll from tummy to back too and has started doing this in her sleep. The problem is she prefers to sleep on her tummy. She can only roll from tummy to back and back to tummy one way ( meaning she can only roll to her left and not the other way) so when she rolls from tummy to back, she tries to roll from back to tummy again but runs out of room and wakes up and cries. I had to go in and move her 2 times last night, 3 times the night before. She will usually go back down, but it is still frustrating. Any suggestions?

hi I have a 4-month-old baby who loves to roll over to his belly while he sleeps I’m just worried he will breathe in his own breath while we sleeping at night
