6 month old - sleeping dilemma

Hi ladies

So my 6 month old sleeps in her own cot in a sleeping bag. The issue I am facing is she loves rolling from back to front but hasn’t mastered the front to back roll yet! Therefore I am up during the night a lot when she screams and can’t get back and she won’t fall asleep on her front! Has anyone else experienced this or have any advice?

Yes we had this problem and we just had to live with it until she had learned to roll the other way. It was frustrating constantly waking but it didn’t last forever xx

I had this with our lb he is nearly 6 months.... he loves rolling over on to his front but could never go back to his back it was a pain at night as he would cry as he wouldnt roll back over I had to live with it till he got it and now he is a pro at it.

does she roll over in the day if so help her to roll back over.....then leave her a couple of time see if she can do it thats what I done with my lb.... hope she works it out soon xx

Luckily we had the front to back mastered before back to front 😂 Whilst she was learning the second she was still in her next2me and was too big to get all the way over (only managed onto side with the space). Is putting her into something smaller an option until she learns? Just an idea 🤷‍♀️ I feel for you having to get up, hope she learns quickly! x
