Now he is a little over 5 months old and just started rolling back to belly as if he's been doing it his whole life. It's like one day it just clicked for him. Please don't worry. - 4 months is still really early for rolling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161930 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 15:31:35 +0000 GrapeCrush 1161930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS didn't roll over consistently until 5 months. he rolled at 3 months, but then stopped one day and didn't start until 5 months. i think he's fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161887 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 14:59:13 +0000 tlcbaby 1161887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely nothing to worry about! Four months is still early and A showed no interest in rolling over until about a week before it happened. It wasn't like a long buildup or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161867 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 14:18:52 +0000 Pepper 1161867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: C still won't roll belly to back. He hatttes tummy time. He rolled back to belly just starting this weekend (my husband took that IG video, of course C never did that in front of me!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161816 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 13:03:08 +0000 yin 1161816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No worries. Your LO will roll when he is ready. I don't think my 1 year old niece knows how to roll, but she is extremely spoiled. Everyone picks her up so she never needed those skills. Strange but true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161813 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 12:53:18 +0000 loveisstrange 1161813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C didn't roll until 6 months either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161791 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 12:13:10 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1161791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo didn't until 6mo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161774 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 11:46:25 +0000 StbHisMrs 1161774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another summer baby, 2.5 months and not rolling yet. I have a big tummy time hater here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161766 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 11:37:38 +0000 chopsuey 1161766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: nope, don't worry! Dd rolled at 4 months, but DS took his sweet time and didn't roll til 7+ months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161760 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 11:31:48 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1161760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NO! Don't worry. Mine was a bump on a log until about 5.5m. Even then, he wasn't great at it. I think he fully rolled to both sides with skill at about 6m and then crawled at 9.5m. He is now 12m and he is cruising on furniture and crawling quickly, but not walking, although he tries, so it will be sooner than later. I was worried with every milestone, but he always caught before the designated "point of worry". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161757 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 11:26:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 1161757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E rolled back up front for the first time like a week or two after 4 months, and front to back several weeks later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161731 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 10:54:49 +0000 ALV91711 1161731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad to hear some other babies didn't roll until 7+ months. DS is 7mo and has only rolled a couple times each way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161727 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 10:51:41 +0000 boots 1161727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD didn't start rolling until she hit 5 months. She still only does it when she feels like it and she is now almost 7 months. </p> <p>She doesn't seem remotely ready to start crawling yet either. Girlfriend likes to do things at her own pace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161723 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 10:48:12 +0000 googly-eyes 1161723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dd rolled front to back early, but all of a sudden at 5.5 months started rolling both ways, all the way across the room. I wouldn't worry yet. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161701 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 10:24:43 +0000 lemondrop 1161701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wasn't until 6-7 months for us, so I wouldn't worry yet. At 6 months we started practicing during tummy time, and he got it soon after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161659 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 09:30:58 +0000 cascademom 1161659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry. LO rolled occasionally at that age, not consistently until later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161658 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 09:30:38 +0000 rawrasaur 1161658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A didn't roll until late, but she started crawling early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161657 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 09:28:27 +0000 .twist. 1161657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.5 months here and no rolling yet. He's only once shown any signs of rolling but never accomplished it and hasn't tried since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161653 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 09:23:49 +0000 dolphin 1161653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no worries, mine didn't roll over until closer to five months. they will surprise you! one day they can't and the next day they figure it out and won't stop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161617 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 08:25:32 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1161617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ellie didn't until about six months. She does have some gross motor delay, but very minimal. I don't think that alone is cause for any concern, especially not at four months. I think what you are supposed to look at is the overall picture. For example, Ellie wasn't very physically active at all, but some babies might not be rollers and be great sitters, or might be able to scoot. I always try to err on the side of asking a professional, but I don't think you need to feel worried about things. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161615 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 08:24:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1161615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't worry. He's totally within the normal range. I don't think there are really signs of being ready to roll. When dd did it I think she tried Friday and rolled Saturday. He will do it in his own time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161600 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 07:52:05 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1161600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is 4 1/2 months and hasn't rolled either. She does manage to move all over the place by wiggling and scooting haha. I was worried as well but my doctor said no biggy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161599 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 07:34:36 +0000 Kimberlybee 1161599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't be worried, babies have their own timeline. My LO is rolling everywhere and diaper changes are challenging now. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161598 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 07:33:57 +0000 LittleFox 1161598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I wouldn't worry. Try not to compare your baby's milestones to those of other babies. Every baby is different and there is a range of normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161594 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 07:30:53 +0000 Smurfette 1161594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! It can be 5 or 6 months before they do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161593 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 07:26:55 +0000 Bookish 1161593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No worries, you aren't the only summer mama without a rolling LO! G shows absolutely zero interest in rolling either way. I'm trying not to be concerned....it's hard not to compare milestones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161583 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 07:02:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 1161583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we rolled front to back early, but back to front wasn't until 7 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161582 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 07:01:17 +0000 lisa1783 1161582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's nothing to be worried about. Peds are only worried if babies haven't rolled over by 9 months. My LO didn't start rolling until 7 months and then he rolled to get around for 2 months before crawling. It's hard not to get worried when you compare your LO to everyone else though but babies are always on their own schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161578 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 06:52:46 +0000 Ra 1161578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: He hasn't tried in either direction. We try to coax him during tummy time but he just cries. We've even tried rolling him ourselves and clapping and loving on him. No dice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-be-concerned-that-lo-isnt-rolling-yet#post-1161575 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 06:52:15 +0000 Katrocap 1161575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>W didn't roll front to back until 6 months and back to front until 7. Now he's a rolling champ - he can roll from one side of the room to the other! </p>
