for the past few nights Freddie has been rolling over in his cot and can't get back over again. I know this is only a matter of time but he hates being on his belly and screams his head off when he can't get back.
Plus he's now decided he likes sleeping on his side and gets really frustrated when he can't stay on his side. He tangles his legs up through the cot spokes to try and hold himself up. This also means he cries as he gets more and more tired.
He's even crying in his sleep cos he can't get comfy. We have to gently shift him into different positions until he does a big comforting sigh and then goes to sleep quietly! Beware if you get the position wrong!
Because of all this he ends up all over the cot during the night cos he is wiggling like mad and keeps bashing his head on the side of the cot - again making him cry.
We've tried helping him out by putting a rolled up blanket behind him but he hates it cos he feels like he's being held down - he likes being free to move.
Because of all his jiggling, no matter how securely we put the nappy on it has leaked a couple of times which also makes him cry - as you would expect it to.
Anyone else got jitterbug babies??? Any advice or words of comfort, does this phase (please let it just be a phase) last long??
