I’ve seen her roll 1 time, and they’ve reported seeing it at daycare a couple of times; but she has NO interest in rolling and never has. She likes to sit up and scoot around to move – she doesn’t crawl either. She also doesn't mind tummy time; just doesn't roll. She seems to be developing fine, I’m not worried about it! ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565998 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 08:50:40 +0000 Weagle 565998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO rolled back to tummy first but never practiced. She just did it one day, but we thought she never would. She loved tummy time and, therefore, had no interest in trying to roll tummy to back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565988 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 08:44:24 +0000 cascademom 565988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say around 5 months or so, LO just started rolling over happily to his stomach and then back to his back. Before that, tummy time still wasn't fun. We had to Amazon Prime some soft kids mat so he could roll all over our carpet. I think part of it was that we stopped swaddling him and allowed him to roll in his crib freely. He does that at daycare, so having it at home maybe gave room for some more development. He's not interested in crawling, my current worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565975 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 08:36:09 +0000 winniebee 565975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son hated tummy time as well (would scream) but ultimately did learn to roll tummy to back right around 4 months....and then back to tummy a few weeks later. Just keep on practicing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565959 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 08:25:16 +0000 irene 565959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha! me me ! LO didn't show any interest in rolling over until 5 months? I forgot - but all my friends' babies are rolling over at 2-3 months. For him he just laid there like a piece of tofu lol. He just had no desire to do that regardless of what we did! </p> <p>But I promise you, one day that will suddenly happen! I think for us he mastered crawling BEFORE he mastered rolling over. I think right around the time he started rolling over, he started crawling also - at 5.5 months, way faster than other babies :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565954 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 08:22:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 565954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This whole thread makes me feel better! BabyGloss is 5.5 months, and is just now starting to try to roll back to tummy. She *loves* to stand and kick though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565953 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 08:21:53 +0000 Sammyfab 565953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was my baby exactly!!! He actually didn't roll until after 6 months and it was in his crib! He hated tummy time with a passion...so much so that I got an occupational therapy consult for him at 8 months. 2 days later he started crawling and since, he's been totally content on his tummy. To this day though, he has never ever log rolled and will never roll from his tummy onto his back. And if he ends up on his back, he sometimes gives a look of shock and confusion as if he doesn't know what to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565948 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 08:18:22 +0000 hilsy85 565948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto!! L has zero interest and still hates tummy time. Apparently rolling over is more of a 6 month milestone, which means they have another two months to figure it out. That made me feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565888 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 06:42:49 +0000 CarrieLouWho 565888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runningelley- we are in the same boat, D has no interest in rolling over :( I know it will happen, but I just wish she would already!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565881 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 06:29:45 +0000 MusicaV 565881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A rolled back to tummy at 4.5 months. He can only roll tummy to back if I put his arms in the right position, but he prefers to have his arms at his sides. He's almost 5 months. A lot of our mom/baby friends started rolling over (on purpose) a lot earlier.</p> <p>I'm not going to lie, I have cried a little when I get home from seeing all these superbabies. I try to remember that those moms have every right to be excited about what their babies can do. Some day I'll be that excited - although I feel pretty good that A can roll back to tummy. I think he *might* be an early crawler. LOL, every mom says that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565871 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 05:26:13 +0000 matador84 565871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ds was exactly the same way then boom! One day all he did was roll over and will only roll over now. He loveeees to "walk" and we never thought he'd roll, but then it just randomly happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565850 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 03:24:01 +0000 sunny 565850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is nearly 6 months and refuses to roll over.<br /> I've seen her do it maybe 2-3 times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565810 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 01:10:26 +0000 MsMini 565810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>S was really weird about physical milestones. He never "practiced" anything, and didn't seem like he had any interest in it, until like the day of the average age babies did a task (except for crawling, he was a month late on that), then he mastered it in like 30 seconds on that day. He literally learned to crawl, transition crawl to sit and sit to crawl, as well as cruising/standing to sitting all in abut 2 hours in 1 day.</p> <p>I find a lot of babies that are just on time, or behind on the physical milestones are ahead in the "social" ones though, which is really fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565806 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 01:06:10 +0000 lemondrop 565806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, somewhere around 5ish months he finally got it. It was driving me crazy at swim class, all the other babies were way ahead of him. I finally had enough and we worked on it a lot for a few days... soon after he got it. Not long after that he started rolling in the crib and started sleeping better on his tummy. By that point, I was just thrilled to get a full night's sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565756 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 23:51:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 565756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Haha not creepy at all! E doesn't want to work on sitting, either....he's happier standing and stomping his feet too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565743 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 23:44:19 +0000 Running Elley 565743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: Want to know something creepy? I remembered that your LO had rolled over not *that* long ago and I remembered that you had posted about it so I went back through your posts the other day to estimate how old E was when he rolled over haha. I figured out that it was around 4 months :)</p> <p>Elliot wants to WALK. He is completely over these little milestones and wants to just go. He's happiest when we're standing him up and he stomps his feet and walks haha. Silly boy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565737 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 23:41:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 565737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely, E HATED tummy time. Then somewhere around 4 months he started rolling from back to stomach....and now I can't keep him on his back for anything! I have to pin him down to change his diaper! He can roll stomach to back, but it's rare. I just don't think he cares to...he's more more interested in getting up on his hands and knees and trying to crawl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565735 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 23:40:48 +0000 Running Elley 565735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: That gives me a lot of hope! I'll just keep waiting :) I do tummy time with him still but he will only tolerate it when he's already really happy and even then it ends in fussiness haha. Oh well.<br /> @googly-eyes: E does the rolling almost over and smiling thing too! They're baiting us ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565734 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 23:39:13 +0000 googly-eyes 565734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice here but I'm sort of in the same situation... LO is about 5 mo now and only rolls belly to back, hates tummy time. Rolls from back to side, aaaaalmost to belly and then stops and smiles. Lol. Oh well, it'll happen sometime. She has really strong legs but hates tummy time STILL. I'm grateful for her temperament and sleeping habits so far, so I can wait for rolling!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565731 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 23:38:35 +0000 stargal 565731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup p hated Tummytime and had no interest in rolling over.... He did it a couple times around 4 months and then stopped. Then at 6 months hr started doing it all the time. He still hates being on his belly for more then a minute! Don't worry I thought for sure p would skip rolling but he does it. I think it took him a while BC he doesn't like his belly. To this day he hates his tummy. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-rolling-over#post-565723 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 23:33:08 +0000 Running Elley 565723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seriously given hope that Elliot will roll over lol. He turned 4 months old last week so I know that logically he still has time but he has ZERO interest in it. He hates tummy time and he can't seem to coordinate what his arms are supposed to do in order to make rolling over happen.</p> <p>I know that rationally someday he will, in fact, roll over but I can't imagine him ever being interested enough to actually accomplish it.</p> <p>Anyone else have an uninterested baby who finally ended up rolling over? Give me hope! </p>
