Ok, I'm not imagining things. He just did it FOUR TIMES in front of me, on a flat floor. Tummy to back, twice to the right, twice to the left.
He's six weeks old!
What a clever boy :D

Sorry, I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging but I'm just so proud of him! DD (who started crawling at 5 months) didn't roll over until 12 weeks from back to front, and 16 weeks from front to back.
God forbid DS starts crawling early - I was really hoping for a bit of freedom from another active baby this time! :laughing:

I worry though, about other things to do with his development.
I am SO flat out all the time with DD who is 19 months, that I feel like with DS I'm just kind of tending to him - you know, feeding, popping him to sleep and that's about it. I give him lots of cuddles and we chat a bit, but even when I'm feeding him I'm often distracted with DD, playing with her and entertaining her. When I put DS to sleep it's often in the sling because I've got to cook tea or clean up or something.
With DD I had all the time in the world to just sit with her, talk to her, have cuddles, interact and play. With DS it's almost like I have to get him out of the way so I can do all the other things I have to do.
It's awful and I feel like I'm really neglecting him. In fact, it's got to the point now where the only time we can really have a chat is in the middle of the night, and that's not going to teach him good habits!
We breastfeed, and we also co-sleep for about half the night some nights, so he gets lots of physical time with me, but not a great deal of my quality attention, if that makes sense.
Does anyone have any advice about that?
Clever little boy you have!! :)
I am glad i am not the only person who sometimes feels like i neglect my second child dd1 is 4 years old and just sooo full of beans that i too feel i dont get quality time with dd2. I have looked in to sending her to a preschool for just 3 hours a week so i can have some one on one time with bub - perhaps you have family who could take your older one for an hour or so so you can have some time with your son? or Maybe you could include both children in the activities (eg reading a book all together or singing and dancing altogether, sorry not sure what kind of activities your daughter does)
The other thing, which is hard to do is just leave some of the house work - perhaps get a family member or partner to help you out with it while you spend time with bub...
all easier said then done tho!
:)
My DS rolled early too, its great isnt it :) He went from belly to back then took about 4mths to go the other way :laughing:

Your not neglecting him!!
Just dont have the same amount of time as you did with DD. It comes with the territory of having more than one child.
Just do the best you can with what you've got.
Your seriously doing better than i am with my 3. I cant co-sleep, BF or have them in a sling.
It does get easier when they can entertain themselves :hugs:

Thats great! My DS did his first tummy to back roll at about 9 - 10 weeks, but now wont do them anymore! I think it was him really losing his balance and falling around, not sure cause he didnt do one again until around 4 months (and again hasnt since!) All he does now is back to tummy.:confused:

**gasp!**
**cough!**
WHAT??
You are my HERO! I can't imagine possibly doing as well as you are doing with triplets - you are supermum!!
Man, I wouldn't even be able to imagine co-sleeping, breastfeeding or babywearing with three! I read your posts on here and am constantly inspired and amazed.
We aren't even in the same league honey!
