And then all he does is SCREAM.

He's also teething so is just a flushed, screamy ball of frustration.

PLEASE tell me it's just a phase?!

Hi, yes it is. He's learning new skills and wants to practice them over and over lol. They then get frustrated that they can't roll back or do other things that's why the crying is most likely to be for! Give lots and lots of praise and if anything it's a great sign he's really determined!!

No need to worry def a phase they go through :) x

Oh yea my DS went through this phase. He'd roll onto his tummy and then he hated being on his tummy so I'd have to roll him back. He could roll from his tummy to his back himself but he would be so upset that he would forget and just scream for mummy. Don't worry it didn't last long. We had a similar story when he started crawling. He'd crawl off happily and then realise he was on his tummy (commando crawling) and wail for help and then immediately crawl off again. Crawling one lasted 1-2 weeks. Can't remember exactly for the rolling one. Think it was less. It'll pass don't worry!

Thanks. He was calm by bedtime but today has been day 3 of wailing and screaming in frustration and grumpiness from 7am-7pm! Think a lot of it is teeth too. Hopefully soon he'll chill out a bit about it!
