Sounds like she has great muscle tone, and she'll do it when she's ready. DS rolled at 4.5 months, but at 4 months he just laid and the ground and screamed for tummy time, no superman, no arm pushing, nothing! Then one day he just pushed up and rolled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-and-motor-development#post-2816541 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 10:03:17 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2816541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starchild: my almost 6mo hasn’t started rolling yet and she loves tummy time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-and-motor-development#post-2816482 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 06:30:18 +0000 cnidaria 2816482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter hated using her arms during tummy time, too, and didn't roll at all until she was 10 months old, with the exception of one random fluke roll at 5 months. She didn't roll consistently until almost 12 months old.</p> <p>No motor development issues, though. She was sitting up in her own and crawling well before she ever rolled. She's now practically running (and really good at rolling!) at 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-and-motor-development#post-2816396 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 09:59:12 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2816396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of mine didn’t roll (at all, no accidental frustrated rolls) until 6.5 months. And my other didnsoke accidental rolls around 4 months and then not again until around 5-5.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-and-motor-development#post-2816394 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 09:49:44 +0000 Grace 2816394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don’t worry. There’s a big range for rolling. Mine didn’t start until 7.5 months (he also had reflux). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-and-motor-development#post-2816391 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 09:19:14 +0000 peaches1038 2816391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The normal range for rolling is 4-6 months, so your lo has plenty of time! My guy also had reflux as well as some breathing issues and he basically never had tummy time per doctor orders. he maybe rolled once around 7 months old and then not again for a looooooooooong time. He was sitting independently around 5 months, crawling at 8 months and walking at 12 months, so he wasn’t delayed at all. I was super worried about it at the time, but realize now that it wasn’t a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rolling-and-motor-development#post-2816390 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 09:05:11 +0000 starchild 2816390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bubs is 4 months (18 weeks). She was IUGR so she's only 11lbs 4oz or so, but she's super alert and wiggly, loves to laugh at the baby in the mirror, and can squirm her way all over her crib. She's not rolling yet. She does push down on her feet if you hold her up, though. As a reflux baby, her tummy time when she was littler was pretty restricted to on our chests because it bothered her so much, but she's doing better now and we have a lot of open time on the floor to practice moving. When she does tummy time now, she just "supermans" and doesn't really engage her arms at all. She does have good head control, though, and she's also getting really good at reaching for toys and bringing things to her mouth with control. I will bring it up at her 4 month well baby which is a little late coming up on the 24th, but just wondering if we should be concerned yet or if there is any more we can do to encourage her besides just keep playing and giving her space. I've also asked daycare to focus on tummy time with her. </p>
