DS sleeps on his stomach. Now that he is rolling, he will land on his back when I lay him down for naps. He doesn't necessarily cry, but he babbles for a long time, and does not sleep. I tried to go in and roll him back, but it is becoming a constant thing. Should I just leave him on his back, and will he just learn to sleep this way? Has anyone had other similar experiences??

Thanks!!

ARGGH! Yes, we had this experience-opposite direction though-back to front. We had just gotten our boys sleeping through the night and 2 weeks later one learned to roll. He'd do it in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep. We would go in and pat his back (you would pat your son's tummy)to help him settle down and then he'd go to sleep. If he was too upset we would roll him back over. It took about a week and then he loved sleeping on his tummy. If you're son is just babbling, you could probably leave him alone and soon he will learn to sleep on his back.
