Sleeping Problems

The last two nights we have been struggling to get Mark to sleep at night. Having big hour long battles with him, where he just screams - it breaks my heart. Part of the issue is that when we put him to bed he rolls onto his stomach, but then cannot roll back onto his back. He is so tired and irrational, that even if you roll him back onto his back he is so worked up he just screams, and rolls straight back over - adding to the problem!

During the day he has started to fall asleep on his stomach. That's OK, but he is now sleeping for about half as long as he is not as comfortable, and then he is more cranky during the day as he is tired. I have tried to roll him back onto his back once he falls asleep but he wakes up immediately! Must be a light sleeper like his dad.

Anyway he has still been sleeping through the night - probably so exhausted after screaming for an hour to get to sleep at night! Hopefully things improve soon, I am starting to dread night times.
