Still doesn't reliably do belly to back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-423671 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:17:03 +0000 Bao 423671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: My LO is 3 months old today and she hasn't rolled over yet. She also HATES tummy time, her legs and feet go up and her arms go out and she kinda just wobbles around lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-423666 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:15:39 +0000 jennylynn 423666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: Nothing too intense. I would lay her flat on her back and pull her to sitting using her hands, to help strengthen her belly and neck muscles. I'd also lay her on belly and sort of guide her into rolling. I think her biggest problem was getting started with it, and not knowing what to do with her little arm. I guided her to straightening her arm out in front of her, and gave her a little nudge, and she started needing me less and less. Now that she's mastered it, I can't get her to stay on her belly for more than 10 seconds!!! I work with her back to belly rolling by laying her on her back, and pulling her leg over just far enough where her body starts to turn, and she flips herself right over the rest of the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420732 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:17:56 +0000 HabesBabe 420732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From belly to back at 2 weeks (total fluke!), but she hasn't done it since then and she's 4 1/2 months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420711 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:06:59 +0000 lovehoneybee 420711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the feedback! I'm not really stressed about it yet, just wanted a general idea of others' experiences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420680 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:47:26 +0000 mrskc 420680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This may sound crazy but I swear he rolled over from tummy to back at 3 weeks and has since done it a few more times (he is now 6 weeks). Every baby is different and yours will roll over too. Have you ever met someone who doesn't have fine motor skills? We all get there eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420651 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:35:35 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 420651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tummy to back was really early - 6 weeks. Back to tummy was around 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420600 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:18:14 +0000 doodlepoodle 420600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: J rolled over back to belly at 15 weeks (I think?) and has only gone from belly to back maybe two or 3 times and they were obviously not on purpose b/c he freaked out and started crying :) He HATES tummy time. He's okay for about 5 minutes, after that? No. Dice. He wants to be up in his exersaucer. </p> <p>I ignore 99% of the milestone emails that come through. About once a month I'll check the milestone checklist from parents as teachers, but I ignore everything else. Every baby is SO different, you just have to enjoy every moment and realize that your LO will do everything in his own time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420558 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:04:03 +0000 Maysprout 420558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO didnt roll much. She'd do it randomly once in awhile but she just never was a big roller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420469 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:30:48 +0000 Bluebonnet 420469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Belly to back at 2 months. Back to belly a week or two later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420451 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:24:48 +0000 prettylizy 420451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.5 months I think, they both happened within a week or so of each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420448 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:24:11 +0000 littlek 420448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B rolled tummy to back around 3 months and back to tummy around 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420409 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:13:53 +0000 PinkElephant 420409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennylynn: I'm curious to hear more about the exercises you've done with your LO if you don't mind sharing.</p> <p>My 5-month-old LO likes to roll onto her sides to sleep and play, but doesn't roll front to back or back to front much unless she's REALLY motivated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420361 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 20:54:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 420361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was a late bloomer on the rolling front so don't stress out! He didn't like tummy time for awhile either, so he didn't roll until he was about 4.5-5 months old! Crazy right... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420356 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 20:53:24 +0000 tysonja 420356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha our LO is 6 months and has only *kind of* rolled from front to back once... not worried yet, he's a heavy boy at almost 20lbs! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420355 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 20:53:20 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 420355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is getting close to doing this too (also 16w)!<br /> He's supposedly gone belly-back once (but only DH saw...so, we'll just say it hasn't truly happened until I see it haha). I think he might go back-belly soon. He really cranes his neck when he's on his back and tries to throw his legs over. So exciting :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420344 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 20:45:29 +0000 Mrs. Bee 420344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie did front to back at 4 months, and then back to front at 4.5 months. olive was a month later with rolling over, but she was also born a month early so she was about the same as charlie.</p> <p>once charlie could roll back to belly he always slept on his belly. but even though olive could roll back to belly, she didn't consistently start sleeping on her belly until 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420341 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 20:45:01 +0000 pastemoo 420341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>t 6 months he has still only done it by accident. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420337 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 20:42:31 +0000 jennylynn 420337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO was late. She didn't roll over for the first time until 6 months (belly to back) and not frequently until 7 months. She still hasn't rolled back to belly and she's 8 months, but she's close. She's sitting up and hitting all of the other physical milestones, so I tried not to sweat it. I tried to do exercises with her to help her realize how to roll, and I really think that helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420110 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:41:12 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 420110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Belly to back at ten weeks<br /> Back to belly at eleven </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420106 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:39:01 +0000 autumnlove 420106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was 3 months the first time from belly to back.

Only just started consistently rolling from belly to back now (7 months)! Lol I think she just got used to me flipping her over for her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420101 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:35:46 +0000 twinmama 420101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my son started rolling belly to back at 3.5 months. he's not super consistent yet, but it's most days (at 4 mo). he hangs out on his side a lot these days too, playing with his feet. he's only done back to belly once on his play mat.</p> <p>my daughter absolutely hated tummy time at first, but I used the boppy to help her build up some strength and now she handles it better. she is still not rolling over, but is getting close in the same ways you described. i'm not worried. our ped said it's actually more like a 6 month milestone, rather than a 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420100 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:35:05 +0000 BelugaBean 420100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She did front to back when she was around 3 months or a little after (maybe around 14-15 weeks). She just did back to front today out of the blue (she's 19 weeks today). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420098 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:33:52 +0000 junebugmama 420098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He rolled over front to back at 10 weeks and back to front at 12 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-first-roll-over#post-420094 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:29:16 +0000 lovehoneybee 420094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E seems like he's getting close....today he had his butt high up in the air (he was like a pyramid) and it was starting to lean, but he never made it over...but he HATES tummy time and often just ends up lying flat on the ground crying. </p> <p>I read something today (one of those weekly development emails) that said he should have rolled over (he's 16 weeks today). When did you LO first roll over? Was it front to back first? Anyone else's LO HATE tummy time? </p>
