Babies Can be Tiring

Good lord, babies can be tiring.

Finn will not stop rolling. You put him on his back and he rolls in a matter of seconds. But he HATES being on his tummy, despite the fact that he CAN roll from tummy to back, so he then cries. So we flip him onto his back and he rolls again. Over and over again. All. Day. Long.

He's doing this in his sleep as well.

We're still swaddling him and it makes us nervous to see our son trying to face plant himself while asleep and swaddled. So we put him in a sleep sack last night.

Nope.

After waking every couple hours, we brought him into bed and he finally got some sleep. Clearly we need to keep swaddling.

I know I'm whining. I need to whine just to keep my sanity. He's a sweet, adorable, loving boy who is annoying the hell out of us at the moment.

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. When our son first started rolling he did the exact same thing. He'd also do it in his sleep, then would cry and we'd have to go in and turn him back over. Hang in there, it won't be long until this phase is over. But I remember how hard it was and how annoyed we were!

My son was in the three-to-four month range when we had to quit the swaddle. It was rough for a night or so and then he loved sleeping "free." Good luck. Unfortunately, this will pass and then it will be crawling. And then standing and sitting and standing and sitting. That is where we are stuck for the moment.

I would keep trying to sack. Riley had a few nights of transition to the sack and then was fine. It's safer for him especially now that he is rolling.
