No advice here but I'm sort of in the same situation... LO is about 5 mo now and only rolls belly to back, hates tummy time. Rolls from back to side, aaaaalmost to belly and then stops and smiles. Lol. Oh well, it'll happen sometime. She has really strong legs but hates tummy time STILL. I'm grateful for her temperament and sleeping habits so far, so I can wait for rolling!!!

Definitely, E HATED tummy time. Then somewhere around 4 months he started rolling from back to stomach....and now I can't keep him on his back for anything! I have to pin him down to change his diaper! He can roll stomach to back, but it's rare. I just don't think he cares to...he's more more interested in getting up on his hands and knees and trying to crawl.

@Running Elley: Haha not creepy at all! E doesn't want to work on sitting, either....he's happier standing and stomping his feet too!

S was really weird about physical milestones. He never "practiced" anything, and didn't seem like he had any interest in it, until like the day of the average age babies did a task (except for crawling, he was a month late on that), then he mastered it in like 30 seconds on that day. He literally learned to crawl, transition crawl to sit and sit to crawl, as well as cruising/standing to sitting all in abut 2 hours in 1 day.

I find a lot of babies that are just on time, or behind on the physical milestones are ahead in the "social" ones though, which is really fun!

ds was exactly the same way then boom! One day all he did was roll over and will only roll over now. He loveeees to "walk" and we never thought he'd roll, but then it just randomly happened.

@runningelley- we are in the same boat, D has no interest in rolling over I know it will happen, but I just wish she would already!!!

This was my baby exactly!!! He actually didn't roll until after 6 months and it was in his crib! He hated tummy time with a passion...so much so that I got an occupational therapy consult for him at 8 months. 2 days later he started crawling and since, he's been totally content on his tummy. To this day though, he has never ever log rolled and will never roll from his tummy onto his back. And if he ends up on his back, he sometimes gives a look of shock and confusion as if he doesn't know what to do.

haha! me me ! LO didn't show any interest in rolling over until 5 months? I forgot - but all my friends' babies are rolling over at 2-3 months. For him he just laid there like a piece of tofu lol. He just had no desire to do that regardless of what we did!

But I promise you, one day that will suddenly happen! I think for us he mastered crawling BEFORE he mastered rolling over. I think right around the time he started rolling over, he started crawling also - at 5.5 months, way faster than other babies

I'd say around 5 months or so, LO just started rolling over happily to his stomach and then back to his back. Before that, tummy time still wasn't fun. We had to Amazon Prime some soft kids mat so he could roll all over our carpet. I think part of it was that we stopped swaddling him and allowed him to roll in his crib freely. He does that at daycare, so having it at home maybe gave room for some more development. He's not interested in crawling, my current worry.

My LO is 8 months and never rolls. I’ve seen her roll 1 time, and they’ve reported seeing it at daycare a couple of times; but she has NO interest in rolling and never has. She likes to sit up and scoot around to move – she doesn’t crawl either. She also doesn't mind tummy time; just doesn't roll. She seems to be developing fine, I’m not worried about it!
