I tried it last night and it didn't work. I know she can do it, I just haven't seen it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-to-tummy-before-tummy-to-back-rolling#post-938230 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 09:55:12 +0000 blackbird 938230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ahhhh you guys were right! I laid her on her stomach on her activity gym and had a toy about her head and next thing you know, she's now rolling front to back! That was so fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-to-tummy-before-tummy-to-back-rolling#post-935228 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:18:50 +0000 blackbird 935228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmccarthy, she's always trying to sit up and we're always joking that she's doing ab crunches and working on her flab, cuz that's EXACTLY what it looks like. She just lays on her back and tries to do a sit up, but just grunts like mad lol. Oh boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-to-tummy-before-tummy-to-back-rolling#post-935215 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:15:58 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 935215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our son started going back-to-tummy and never really took to doing tummy to back. He figured it out and was physically able to do it after a few weeks, but he didn't do it very often &amp; would get fussy on his stomach. Once he was older and started wanting to move from one place to another, he began rolling more as a means of getting around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-to-tummy-before-tummy-to-back-rolling#post-935134 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 09:56:38 +0000 MrsMccarthy 935134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son did back to tummy rolling first too. When he finally rolled tymmy to back it was later and he only did it a few times. I read at the time that it means they are exceptionally strong because its harder to roll that way. In our case it seems to follow the trend because Tor crawled at 6 months, stood up unassisted at 7 months, cruising by 8 and was walking by 9 months! He is now 10 months and walking around everywhere. You may just have a baby with a very strong core on your hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-to-tummy-before-tummy-to-back-rolling#post-935121 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 09:52:59 +0000 BeachMama 935121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep doing tummy time. And when she's on her tummy you can manually help roll her to her back. Start with a leg and kind of plant her foot on the ground. Then start to roll her hips back, them the rest of her will follow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-to-tummy-before-tummy-to-back-rolling#post-934805 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 08:25:34 +0000 blackbird 934805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85, that's a great idea, i'll try that! She's definitely interested in things like her mobile and toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-to-tummy-before-tummy-to-back-rolling#post-934723 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 07:50:00 +0000 Weagle 934723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO did this. After a few weeks she figured it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-to-tummy-before-tummy-to-back-rolling#post-934721 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 07:49:12 +0000 hilsy85 934721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just keep working on tummy time...she's still early for hitting that milestone so I would just give her more time! I"ve heard that if you put them on their tummies and wave something up over their heads, it encourages they to look up and to the side and then sometimes they roll! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-to-tummy-before-tummy-to-back-rolling#post-934712 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 07:45:02 +0000 blackbird 934712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So E is rolling back to tummy all the time now...I don't think it's a fluke anymore! But she hasn't rolled front to back and it makes her SO MAD when she gets stuck on her stomach.</p> <p>How can I encourage her to roll the other way? More tummy time? She's 3.5 months old... </p>
