Does anyone elses baby keep rolling over in cot?

[mower]

Ds has taken to rolling on his side in his cot when I put him down for his naps during the day. Its hard enough to get him to sleep anyway let alone when he keeps getting his arms and legs stuck in the side of the cot. Does anyone else have this problem?

mower my ds used to do this all the time and wake himself up beacuse he would just crash into the side. He has just turned 19 months and we have just put him in his own bed with a tomy bed rail from argos because its soft when he turns over he dosent wake up however your little one sounds young how old is he ? I think its one of those things im afraid good luck

Some babies move around more than others I think -our DS (20 months) still does several laps of his cot every night. In the mornings you're never quite sure which way up you'll find him. Dreading putting him in a bed!

If you put him in a Grobag/sleeping bag it helps a bit -at least then he can't get his legs jammed through the bars of the cot

BettySpaghetti I wouldnt worry about the bed thing my ds is exactley the same he would be the wrong way round lying cross ways all sorts and he still does that now hes in his bed , the best advice I have is just make sure you get a bed rail one side is pushed up against the wall and the other side has bed rail in the middle of the bed it works a treat.

Hi Mower, sorry to hijack your thread, but my 9 month old dd keeps on rolling onto her front (as well as rotating 90 / 180 degrees) in the middle of the night - the problem is she always seems to wake up whenever she does this and then we have to go and resettle her. If we leave her, she just carries on crying... Don't know whether you have to in to resettle your ds whenever he gets stuck, but what are you supposed to do because going in to resettle dd each time is getting ridiculous (especially since she demands a feed whenever I go in)

Cot bumper would prolly prevent the limbs getting stuck.

themothership I had the same trouble with my ds when he was still in his cot, he would need resettleling every time he crashed into the cot sides. I think it was a excuse for him wanting a bottle spoke to my hv who advised to leave him to cry for a short while and to keep this going and not give into him unless he was crying uncontrolably YES this did work but it broke my heart hearing him cry it seemed like it took him forever to drop back of but it wasnt you want to try it may be hard for 3/4 nights but it pays of in the end. My friend has a dd and she had the same problem she told me another method but i never used it and it also depends if your dd has a dummy. She bought a dummy clip attached it to her pjs and when her dd woke up she was able to put her dummy back in her mouth herself and my friend never had to resettle, my worry with this was that he would want the dummy attached to him all the time. Hope you sort it out its hard i know but you will get there.

My ds got both his legs so far jammed we had to call 999!

notasheep that sounds terrible but it made me chuckle they have such podgy legs when they are little

Laughalot - thanks for your advice. Yep, it sounds like we're going to have to do a little sleep training - we've done some in the past, when teaching dd to settle herself, but always stayed in the room to reassure her, just didn't pick her up unnecessarily and it worked a treat - she was sleeping through in 3 nights. But somewhere along the way it all went wrong again, and I guess I've been putting off the unavoidable... She doesn't use a dummy so we'll just have to teach her to not get so freaked out by rolling over. BTW did you find that your ds learnt to sleep happily on his front, or did he just learn to roll over back into a reasonable position on his own?
