Baby keeps flipping over and getting mad. Any tips?
Baby girl is 5 months now and we have coslept since we got home from the hospital. I am a lucky mom because she has slept through the night since she was a month old.
She is starting to crawl/scoot and flips into her stomach seemingly unintentionally multiple times per night. She can roll back to belly, but isn’t as proficient at belly-back, so she ends up waking up and crying because she nods off on her face. Or she gets “stuck” and scared.
It’s adorable, but it’s happening multiple times a night and it’s interrupting my sleep. I cosleep to maximize the amount of quality sleep I get, and whatever other benefits that she gets come second to that. I don’t want to sleep train, but if she keeps this up, I might have to. I suffer with migraines and they come on when I’m not getting good sleep.
We sleep in a cuddle curl, and I’ve considered sort of anchoring her in with my outstretched arm, but wasn’t sure about the safety implications of that. I’ll try just about anything to help her either stay down, or work on getting out of it.
Thanks all!
