She's almost a year and skipped crawling too. She just went straight to pulling herself up/cruising. So I think every baby's different, and it's probably nothing to be worried about. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-not-rolling-over#post-281557 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:51:33 +0000 luckypenny 281557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rolling is also not one of the "musts" milestones. My husbands little brother never rolled! He just went straight to crawling around 6 months so every baby is different :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-not-rolling-over#post-281406 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:29:15 +0000 theknest 281406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our little guy was slow to roll over too - at 7 months he finally would go from tummy to back. No need to worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-not-rolling-over#post-281399 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:25:31 +0000 lemondrop 281399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know how you feel about everyone else's baby doing stuff before yours :) Mine didn't really start rolling until right around 6 months. He had only rolled once or twice one direction before then, but they seemed accidental. </p> <p>At 6 months I got tired of every other baby at swim class doing great at tummy time, so we started really practicing, showing him how to roll, and pretty soon after some extra tummy time and cheerleading, he had it down. He hated tummy time for a long time too, probably his great big head didn't make it easy!</p> <p>At 7 months there was no stopping him from rolling over, it was his favorite mode of travel. Give it a little time and your baby will be into everything like mine is... you'll be wishing for those pre-rolling days again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-not-rolling-over#post-281389 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:14:46 +0000 jennylynn 281389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll try not to worry then! Thanks guys. At our last well baby visit, our ped kind of made me feel like she was surprised she wasn't rolling over yet, and that she should start very soon, and that was over a month ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-not-rolling-over#post-281380 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:02:11 +0000 dookie32 281380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is the same age and hasn't yet either. His head control is good (has been since about 2 weeks!) but he doesn't seem the least bit interested in it. I think it's partly because he HATES tummy time- he's pretty big (20 lbs) and has a huge head so I think it's not as easy for him :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-not-rolling-over#post-281331 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:33:39 +0000 Mrs.B 281331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't worry all babies hit milestones at different times and all babies are different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-not-rolling-over#post-281317 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:23:32 +0000 Mrs. Bee 281317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Many babies I know didn't roll over until after 6 months. I wouldn't be worried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-not-rolling-over#post-281314 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:22:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 281314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it just yet. Maybe help LO practice rolling over and spending lots of time on the ground. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-not-rolling-over#post-281310 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:19:34 +0000 LivsMama 281310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldnt be too concerned. All babies hit milestones differently (I know youve heard that 1000 times and are probably sick of it lol.) If she is sitting up well and doing good with tummy time, shes probably ok. Have you shown her how to do it?</p> <p>Liv was advanced on her physical milestones (sitting, rolling, crawling, etc) but she didnt say "mama" or "dada" until later than most babies. Our pedi said that many times, they focus so much on one set of skills or one particular skill that another will fall abck a bit, but will eventually catch up. And he was right =o) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-not-rolling-over#post-281304 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:16:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 281304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds was rolling around 5 months. I wouldn't be concerned of she didn't until 6 mos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-not-rolling-over#post-281294 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:12:57 +0000 jennylynn 281294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is a little over 5 months old, and still hasn't rolled over. Should I be concerned? She has great head control, and sits up with very little assistance, and does good with tummy time. She just shows no interest in rolling over. I feel like most babies her age are already and have been rolling over for awhile. </p>
