He does the same thing he's determined to lay on his stomach most of the times so I just let him.</p> <p>@Zbug: he doesn't roll tummy to back a lot either only sometimes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1695644 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:04:54 +0000 Honeygold89 1695644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: thanks lol aw I lay him on his back every night but I guess he likes his stomach better </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1695638 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:03:43 +0000 Zbug 1695638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She rolled once at five months but didn't do it consistently until a few weeks after that (tummy to back). She still doesn't roll back to tummy all that frequently at 8 months. Don't worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1695634 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:03:18 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1695634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: my DD just learned to roll over onto her tummy too! She's 4 months and every time I go to turn her over, she just turns right back over. It's exhausting. I turned her once st nap and thankfully she fell asleep in about 10 min. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1695623 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:00:42 +0000 PurplePeony 1695623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeygold89: good for Noah! What a cute photo of him. My LO started rolling back to tummy a couple days before her 6-month birthday. Now it's impossible to get her to sleep because she rolls over and won't roll back the other way so she keeps getting stuck, but she doesn't want to sleep on her tummy! Life was so much easier before, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1694713 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 06:35:18 +0000 Dandelion 1694713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeygold89: yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1694711 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 06:32:20 +0000 Honeygold89 1694711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just an update Noah started rolling last week from back to tummy and then a few days later he started from tummy to back no every morning he's on his tummy when I go to get him out his crib. </p> <p>Thanks everyone for posting </p> [attach=3750/14/n7201y.449x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1641046 Fri, 16 May 2014 21:13:02 +0000 Honeygold89 1641046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: that is interesting and makes sense </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1641024 Fri, 16 May 2014 20:52:04 +0000 PurplePeony 1641024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeygold89: Also, my LO's pediatrician said that early on, it will seem like babies are rolling from their bellies to their backs, but it's more "tipping" than actual "rolling." She said it's not unusual for a baby to seem like they've regressed after being able to go belly to back, but really what has happened is they've gotten stronger, more stable, and able to control their actions better so they don't tip anymore. I thought that was interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640859 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:51:42 +0000 Honeygold89 1640859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@imbali: thanks for the link. </p> <p>@OldEnglandMama: that's the exact thing Noah does he's so close but just doesn't take it all the way </p> <p>@avivoca: thanks that really is good to know </p> <p>@Pumuckl: that's both funny and cute I could only imagine </p> <p>@Mrs. Champagne: thanks</p> <p>@scotchbonnet: lol that's going to be crazy because he already turn on his side when I'm changing him </p> <p>@Greentea: that's great info thanks I'll try it</p> <p>@PurplePeony: lol that's funny it just made me think about yesterday when I had him doing tummy time. This is what he did</p> <p>@sarahbs: that happened once where he turned from back to tummy but I don't think he meant to cause he hasn't did it again</p> <p>Thanks for all the advice and personal stories you ladies shared it really helps to make me not so worried </p> [attach=3750/14/n5oya7.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640657 Fri, 16 May 2014 16:51:28 +0000 sarahbs 1640657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeygold89: Baby D is the same age and has rolled over only once from his tummy to his back. But it must've been a fluke since it hasn't happened again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640631 Fri, 16 May 2014 16:39:52 +0000 PurplePeony 1640631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 5.5 months and doesn't roll yet. She went tummy to back a few times around 3 months but then stopped as she started to enjoy tummy time more. She's *thisclose* to rolling back to tummy and has been for like a month, but just won't do that last little bit to get herself over. If I give her a little push on her hip when she's on her side, she'll roll and pop right up on her tummy, so I think she's just lazy. I'm not too worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640526 Fri, 16 May 2014 15:52:50 +0000 Greentea 1640526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeygold89: I did tummy time with her and I also would lay her on her back and take her leg and gently cross it over her body- if that makes sense? The body will naturally roll like that. I watched a YouTube video on it were a pt did it on a yoga ball like that. (I didn't feel comfortable using a ball.) This exercise sort of trains their brain. She needed less and less help and once they do something themselves their brain memorizes it.</p> <p>I hope that makes sense. I would lay her on her back and gently take her right leg and fold it over and help her gently roll. Then the other way and I made a huge big happy deal each time. When she got onto her tummy she hated enough that she rolled right back onto her back. I also gently helped her roll to her back as well.</p> <p>She was 2 months. I didn't know when babies were supposed to roll but there is this lady I know from natural childbirth class who blogs and is always like "my kid does this milestone!" so when at 2 months she said her kid loves rolling over I got on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640507 Fri, 16 May 2014 15:38:45 +0000 scotchbonnet 1640507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo didn't start rolling at all until after 6 months. I think it was something like month 7 before she was doing so consistently. I worried and worried about it too. She sort of figured out rolling wgen she started sitting. She is 9 months now and is unstoppable. Diaper changes are a huge struggle now that she rolls around :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640501 Fri, 16 May 2014 15:36:27 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1640501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked my friend and she said all three of her kids rolled between 4-5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640461 Fri, 16 May 2014 15:16:56 +0000 Pumuckl 1640461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeygold89: for us rolling full circle was late. Like 6.5-7m... He was unstoppable after that. It immediately became his preferred method of getting around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640454 Fri, 16 May 2014 15:13:29 +0000 avivoca 1640454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She didn't start rolling until 5 months, and at seven months doesn't roll a whole lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640445 Fri, 16 May 2014 15:10:15 +0000 OldEnglandMama 1640445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He keeps rolling onto his side and almost over (back to front) but then gets stuck. So close though! (11 weeks today.) It's good to see there's such a range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640381 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:45:32 +0000 imbali 1640381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeygold89: I'm glad :) here's a thread i started about rolling with a poll that may give you some idea about hb babies rolling - <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling-consistently" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling-consistently</a></p> <p>eta: as far as i know (stand to be corrected!) rolling is nb to develop muscles for sitting - which R has been doing unassisted for over a month, even without rolling. so i kind of stopped worrying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640347 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:34:34 +0000 Honeygold89 1640347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@imbali: wow ok that's makes me feel better</p> <p>Thanks ladies the funny thing is he rolls to the side but that's it. He likes sleeping on his side </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640328 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:30:21 +0000 Crisark 1640328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rolled front to back before two months, back to front was closer to 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640325 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:28:46 +0000 imbali 1640325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6months and no rolling really - she's only just started semi rolling back to front! As far as I know, rolling is like crawling, like an 'optional' milestone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640254 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:09:50 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1640254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11 weeks for front to back and 13 weeks for back to front. She was on the early side for rolling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640232 Fri, 16 May 2014 14:05:49 +0000 yin 1640232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 rolled at 3.5 months. DS2 rolled from front to back at 4.5 months, but it only lasted about two days. Fast forward a month later, and now he willingly rolls both directions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640198 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:55:46 +0000 Honeygold89 1640198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: @Bao: ok thanks I'll try it I just thought they we're suppose to start at 2 1/2 3 months because of the apps and other people saying that's when they start </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640164 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:48:02 +0000 Bao 1640164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I remember correctly, 4 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640162 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:47:56 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1640162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO didn't start rolling until he was 4 months. I caught him in his crib doing it one day before I got him up :heart: </p> <p>Your LO is 3 months...I don't think you have anything to worry about just yet. If he starts to approach 6 months with no rolling, that's when I would start to bring something up to his pediatrician about missing a milestone. </p> <p>You can also try to work with him now too. Try lying him on his back...have him follow a favorite rattle/toy across from one side of his body to the other all while crossing one leg over the other in the direction you're trying to get him to roll to. Then place the toy just out of reach to see if he'll continue to reach for it and roll over while doing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-rolling#post-1640152 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:43:49 +0000 Honeygold89 1640152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So Noah is 13 weeks and still hasn't rolled yet and of course like any other FTM it worries me a little. He has started to sit up with assistance and has very good head control but no rolling. </p> <p>Should I be concerned and is there anything I can do to help him? </p>
