Please, please do not worry about rolling. My son rolled belly to back really early on and expressed no interest in it again until 8 months. Back to belly? 10 months was the first time he EVER did it. I was SO freaked out and about nothing because he is a running jumping chatterbox at age 3.

I could care less about rolling with Clementine. They didn't even ask me about it at her 4 month checkup.

ugh. i was awake again last night til 4:30AM with baby kicking and thrashing keeping me up, til DH put her in the hammock. cannot handle this!
HOW do I get her to go to bed at night?

Mine isn't rolling and I don't really care, they didn't ask me at his 4month either.
I know he is capable of rolling because he rolls on to his side. I don't think that rolling is really a must meet milestone or anything. As long as you know they are capable and don't have any muscle issues.

Mine's not rolling although early on, like at two weeks or less, she rolled from back to belly. She's really not high needs when I compare her to the way ds was -- she's just a baby. He would cry if I laid him down, only napped in my arms or in a baby carrier (and then only if I was moving along steadily), he woke at night frequently (though usually easliy nursed back to sleep). Compared to him, dd is easy, although she does get fussy when tired or hungry or wet. She's alseep right now without me, and is fine. Every baby is unique and anyone who expects all babies to be the same isn't paying attention.

Can I join the high needs baby club??? I am so so so tired. Ds is waking up constantly at night.. still taking 20 min naps, ahhhh!
He is much happier and less fussy during the day But nightime is rough rough rough. I have no energy.
Not to mention I can't seem to leave ds with anyone... I leave him with daddy while I go to the gym for 30 min ( he is just fed and as well rested as he gets with those 20 min naps) and I come home to a daddy with a headache and a crying babe... and daddy is great with him!
Same thing happened today.. we left 2 kids with the grandparents for an hour so we could run to Target. Ds woke up at 1125... we got home at 1140 and he was still crying!!! He is so high needs day and night that I feel like I need a break every now and then... and then I feel guilty when I do because he is just not happy!!!
I love that he needs me so much but phew... if I dont even get a break at night I wish I could take an hour every now and then and not have to worry about him crying!!!! I know this is just a short phase but I so so frustrated with him sometimes and I dont remember ever feeling that way with my first.... of course she was an amazing sleeper and easy to get to sleep too.
ohhhh and yay still screaming bloody murder in the car... joy joy

ohh and Israel isn't rolling over much either. He has done it a few times but can't/doesnt do it consistantly....

[Pandme]

Harrison didn't want to roll sequentially, crawl or do much of anything until 9.5-10 months. He was a great sitter though, excellent balance. But it made me so stressed out I called EI on my own (my ped said he was fine). And she was right. EI was so nice but there was nothing at all wrong with him. So I learned then and there to stop paying attention to what all the other babies were doing.

I can't believe this was my last post!
Well, it's good to know I'm not alone I guess. I hope we can all get some sleep and get our babies on healthy sleep schedules.
I'm so tired I can't form sentences. Well, really, my last post?

Ha! Amen to that! Good luck to everyone!
