Its all part of learning. The madder he gets the more determined he might be to learn to roll the other way. It's good practice. My twins use to do the same thing! It was actually kinda funny....they would get stuck but i would try to leave them for a few minutes so they could work on trying to learn to roll the other way, but if they got to mad, i would roll them back to where they were happy. All you can do is let him try a little on his own, but when hes to worked up, help him out. I use to help my twins, i would sit on the floor and let them grab my fingers and just barely pull them back the other way, help them out. It was good playtime, excercise time. Soon enough he will figure out how to roll the other way, and whats funnier is my kids once they did know how to roll both ways rolled all over the house! Enjoy these times!!

My daughter did the same thing...i used to let her cry for a minute and then roll her back over...but slowly and let her get the feel of rolling over herself...she did this for a month before rolling from stomach to back...haha...its pretty funny really, but you can spend most of your day rolling them back over..

my daughter does the same thing all day! just keep rolling him back and eventually he'll master doing int on his own. let him stay on his belly for a little while though and let him cry a bit. thats how he learns to crawl!

LOL! Poor thing! He can't help himself, but he hates getting stuck. My babies did that too. Either let him fuss a bit so he gets used to it, or always be on hand to help him back over.
You could buy some baby chairs that help them sit up, so he can be in another position that's interesting and won't roll over. One Step ahead has good stuff.

answer 1 is good advice but if you want to keep him from rolling over for a time being use a blanket or towel and wrap it like a U around him tucking it under his side or you can find items for that at a baby store. but it shouldnt tak long for hime to learn to roll back over.

You might let him spend a minute or so on his tummy. But if he gets too mad, just roll him back over. Eventually, he will be able to do it on his own.

my daughter did the same thing...to get him to stay on his belly try putting him at the edge of the bed faceing you...u can sit on the floor and play peek-a-boo or something that worked for my daughter and now she loves her belly...once he can roll both ways he'll be fine just let him fuss a little and he'll figure it out... Have Fun:p

Get on the floor with him and put some toys in front of him.
