My 7 month old keeps rolling over while sleeping, but then gets upset because he is on his stomach. He keeps waking himself and then us up. How do I get him to stay still?

He can roll back over, but doesn't. He just screams

try putting a rolled up receiving blanket under his tummy when he's on his side....... not sure if that'll work with a baby that big but it works on little ones up to 3 months...

You are going to have to simply wait. Your baby will learn how to turn back over very soon. 7 months is too old for any of the pads that you can get at Babies R Us etc. They are only for newborns. Using one at this stage would pose as a suffocation hazard. Now that your baby is rolling over be sure that there isn't anything in the crib. Only a fitted sheet. No toys, bumpers, blankets etc. Simply dress your baby in a onesie and a warm zip up sleeper. Don't worry... he will learn how to make himself comfortable soon.

You can't.
If he wakes up and gets upset he will start to figure out how to roll back over. Give him lots of tummy time during the day so he can practice. Even helping him roll...or put a toy just out of reach and show him how to roll to get it. He'll understand soon, and just roll back over in his sleep.

You can buy these things ( I am not sure what they are called) but you place them underneath the baby and the sides curve up and it keeps them from rolling over. That way he would stay on his back. Look at Babies R Us, I would think they would have something. Good luck.

I'm sorry, but you can't. It is a development thing. After he learns to roll from stomach to back he will be much happier.

You are going to have to just leave him till he cries himself to sleep. It's absurd for you to have to get up a million times a night to flip him. He'll get used to it in a week or less if you just leave him.

You can't. He will start learning to turn himself over any day now.

What ShopForBargain's said, but you can probably find it at Walmart or Target as well.
