Augie had been showing signs of doing a back to front rollover for some time and almost did it the other day while all the grandparents were visiting. He decided however that he would instead do it under the cover of night when even his parents were sleeping! Gary went in to check up on some squeaks and grunts only to find Augie fully flipped over, face planted up against the crib rails. We of course spent the next 45 minutes sleepily trying to find info in all of our baby books that tells you what if anything you should do when your baby turns over on his stomach. All that "Always put your baby on his back" stuff was stressing us out. Finally we realized that if he was advanced enough to flip himself over he was ready for stomach sleeping. This was confirmed by some of the pediatric experts so we just went with it. Plus it was 3:15 in the morning. It's obvious he prefers this new sleeping position as he flips himself over immediately after being put down in his crib. We're obviously quite proud. For now, Liam is sticking with his tried and true, froggy-legs, arms up position and that's fine by us.
oh yes....the roll over. addy sleeps so much better on her tummy!! liam needs to catch on!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I read the same thing- once they do it, the risk is pretty much over anyway. Smart boy! Now he can hold it over his brudder's head forever and ever!!
ReplyDeleteI know, poor Liam. However, I'll bet he has a trick or two up his sleeve...
ReplyDeleteMy sister has been a nurse for over a decade so when her youngest son wouldn't sleep *except* on his tummy, she flipped out. She was so worried. She got over it, and he just slept better. So did she.
