But she's in the 85th for weight and 75th for height and just... Solid. Not really rolly or chunky at all. She might be getting stuck but really just seems like she has no interest.<br /> I do roll her onto her tummy then back onto her back, for exactly that reason. I've tried leaving the room, laying there with her, different carpet/pads/mats and clothing combinations to help increase friction, having toys she loves just out of reach... I'm at a loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2004124 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 12:21:07 +0000 illumina 2004124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter sat unassisted at 5 months, crawled at 10 months, walked at 12 and I still don't think I've ever seen her roll. She's never shown an interest in it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2004110 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 12:17:07 +0000 yin 2004110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece sat up on her own early on but never really rolled. She also skipped crawling and went straight to walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2004075 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 12:03:13 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2004075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine rolls but refuses to sit! Like won't even sit on our laps during dinner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2004065 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 12:00:09 +0000 BabyBruins 2004065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 6.5 month old rolled back to stomach first, still won't roll stomach to back and is pretty close to sitting unassisted. My older son went back to stomach first, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2003628 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 07:59:44 +0000 Mamasig 2003628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS2 is 7 1/2 months and I've only seen him roll twice when he was trying to get something. He's totally not interested. He is just starting to sit unassisted. I think his weight slows him down too. He's super chubby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2003544 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 03:20:46 +0000 lamariniere 2003544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of my kids rolled very much at all. With DD, I don't think she ever rolled until well after she was sitting (sitting unassisted at 6.5 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2003535 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 02:58:49 +0000 PurplePeony 2003535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD started rolling from back to belly around the same time she started sitting really well unassisted, just about 6 months. She almost never rolled from belly to back until a couple weeks ago when she decided it's fun to loll around on the floor (she's ~13 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2003491 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 00:42:48 +0000 jhd 2003491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: that's a good tip!</p> <p>My LO can roll, but doesn't do it very often anymore. I think he also just doesn't want to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2003486 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 00:31:21 +0000 jedeve 2003486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she have a big head? My LO has trouble getting his head over when he tries to roll but does OK sitting. His head is in the 97% percentile!</p> <p>One tummy time tip I learned from our PT is to help them roll from back to tummy when you are doing tummy time, instead of just laying then down. And then rolling them back. It helps them figure out the movement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2003281 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 20:08:38 +0000 ALV91711 2003281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once DS did his first roll it was a month before he did it again and then it was only one more time. Then he learned to sit and that is all he did. Once he started crawling then he started to roll more. He's 21 months now and has no problem rolling, I guess it just didn't interest him as a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2003277 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 20:04:59 +0000 cookiemomster 2003277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay cool, it's reassuring to know other people had stubborn babies :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2003266 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 19:53:23 +0000 loveisstrange 2003266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD sat unassisted at 5 months and didn't roll until 6 months. She definitely just didn't want to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2003263 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 19:52:51 +0000 mrscobee 2003263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband never crawled and went straight to walking... My mom tried to tell me that was a sign of something bad, and I had to proceed to tell her she was wrong obviously because DH is a thriving, successful 29 year old man! I think all kids are going to be a little different... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2003258 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 19:50:26 +0000 Rockies11 2003258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my girl never rolled - went straight to sitting, then didn't crawl, just started walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-up-before-rolling#post-2003254 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 19:48:12 +0000 cookiemomster 2003254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my lo is almost six months and refuses to rollover. She's done it once, in late October, and every tummy time since has been a nightmare. She has a very strong back/legs, has been sitting unassisted for a few weeks, and will even stand for a little while if she's holding on to something. Her cousin who is a month younger is now rolling, and while I know I shouldn't be comparing, I'm just really confused why she won't do this. It genuinely seems like she doesn't want to rather than can't. </p> <p>Anyone else's baby go out of order with milestones? </p>
