11 Month Baby Rolls Around/ Tries to Stand up When I Put Him to Sleep in a Crib

What about a breathable bumper?? We used those.

And I agree with others here that he is practicing his new skills. My daughter, at that age, used to wake up "practicing" her crawling and standing.

This, too, shall pass.

It's normal for babies to be driven to practice their new motor skills. Learning to roll over, cruise, and walk are all things that interrupt sleep. It will pass. You may not have seen this up until now because he was not able to do that where he slept before.
Does he cry when left in his crib? I mean really scream as opposed to just fuss? If not, you might try putting him to bed a bit earlier and just let him wear himself out.

Whenever a baby... is making huge developmental changes, in motor-skills and coordination, such as pulling-up/standing/walking etc., they do this ALL the time. They are "practicing" their skills. But they do not have, impulse-control about it, and it is an INSTINCTUAL.... impulse.
So yes, they do it, whenever... and even when they are supposed to sleep and/or be in their crib.

Your baby is at this stage of development. Of "pulling-up." It is a precursor to standing. And then walking.
He is developing... on par.
Which is good.

This is a stage of development and a phase.
Of which, you cannot make him not stand up or pull-up, because they do this by instinct. Not according to a clock or day time only or night time only.
And he is also rolling around a lot.
This is also developmental.
AND is NORMAL.
All babies, do this... when they are approaching a major change in development... per their coordination and motor-skills and new found ability with their limbs.
But they are not mastered yet... at these skills. They are practicing.

It will pass, once your baby does get, fully mastered at these new... motor-skills and coordination.
Until then, it does tweak sleep.

At this age, they don't even know how... to pull-up then sit back down, then lie back down all in a perfect stream of movements. They don't even know yet, how to even do it in this sequence yet.

let your son learn how to do all of those things he is well past the threat of sids. our DD was walking at 10 months and I did use the crib bumpers bc she kept getting her legs caught in the slats once I put the bumpers in it stopped and she also slept on her tummy when she was able to roll over, its all about being able to lift their head and turn their face for breathing. Dont confine him this is a huge step in his growing process.

I always let my son roll around and play in his crib by himself until he falls asleep each night. He never really cried until recently in the process of developing his seperation anxiety. However, even then, I usually lay him down, he rolls over and gets up, I turn out the light, shut the door, and leave the room. He may cry for literally 1 minute and then he's out or he's playing till he's out. I know there is back and forth with CIO, but you may just see if he'll play till he knocks out. Oh and SIDS isn't quite as big of a concern now since he can roll around so maybe not as much to stress about there. My son just now (at 14 months) lost his bumpers and it was only because he was trying to stand on them.

He is old enough now for you to not worry so much about SIDS. Put bumpers on the crib anyway. He has to get used to the crib. It will be hard but this is the product of having used the rock and play sleeper, so he will roll around. Just let him. Give him some time to get used to it. Play some soft music on the CD player and walk out of the room. He will cry and fuss, but will eventually sit down and go to sleep. Tip-toe back in the room once he's out and straighten him a little in the crib and cover him up. Maybe you can put him back on his back, and maybe you can't. Once they are bigger, they will sleep how they want to. You can't get up all night long to flip him back over on his back.

If you can't stand the idea of him crying, just stand there with him and pat him on the stomach til he falls asleep. If he stands up, DON'T pick him up. Put your hand behind his knees and push, which will make him sit down. He actually has to figure out how to sit from a standing position, so now is the time to teach him. If you pick him up out of the crib, he will continue to fight learning how to sleep in it. You just have to let him figure this out, mom.

Some babies do move at night, and since your son didn't sleep in a crib before now, you don't know, maybe he would have always been a mover. My daughter was, she scooted in her crib from week 2, I would find her sound asleep, her bottom up against the rails, tiny feet sticking out, she rolled around so much I never knew where in the crib I would find her in the morning. She pulled herself up to stand in her crib at 7 months, so I took the bumpers out and put the mattress on the bottom rung that night.

Your son will learn his new environment soon enough, make sure he gets lots of roaming exercise through the day and early evening, put him to bed drowsy but not asleep, and when he begins to roll or turn gently pat him to soothe and relax him and as soon as he starts to drift off leave so he can learn to put himself to sleep. Or hug him, kiss and say goodnight and leave, turning the light off as you go, so he can go to sleep on his own, and don't be surprised in either event to find him in the morning NOT where you laid him down...and just wait until he throws himself over the side to get out of the crib, oh yeah, they can move!! ; )

Yep - that's what they do.

He just learned to stand up - you think he's not going to explore that a little?

Just leave him - he'll go to sleep. Been happening since the dawn of cribs...

There are breathable bumpers that aren't SIDS risks available. They look like thin mesh. He is over the age of SIDS risks anyways since he is able to stand and such.

I don't have the much advice except to say that I agree with the other moms that say the bumpers would not be a SIDS risk since your child is older. However I don't think you should use them because you are not suppose to use bumpers for a child that can stand because he can use them to try and climb out of the crib and get hurt.

My kids had reflux very badly and we had to do the same with our bassinet. We swaddled them for a very long time, after they were 1, they were still being swaddled. You can buy a larger piece of flannel, doesn't have to be square, rectangle shape works great. Lay the fabric down and fold one of the short sides down by about 3 inches. Place baby's neck on this fold. Take your right corner and bring across baby, somewhat diagonally (baby's left arm should be pinned to his side. Tuck the corner and more underneath him with the right arm out at this point. Next, take your left corner and bring it somewhat diagonally across baby and tuck under his left side. Now, bring the bottom up and tuck one side under baby and around behind as far as it will go. Do the same with the other side and tuck the corner into the neck area. It is really hard to get out of this swaddle and this might help him to feel more secure.
I live in the Pdx area if you need a demo. My Ukranian friend taught me this swaddle, so if you know of anyone that is from Russia/Ukraine, they might be able to show you, too.

We bought a crib tent. Our little guy was so wriggly and such a mover and a shaker, we used to call him "mr. migration". The crib tent kept him from getting his arms and legs from getting stuck on between the rails.

Its a little pricey, but well worth it in our minds. Also, it will help in that you can keep the little ones from climbing out too.

Good luck to you and yours,
F. B.
