This morning during tummy time, S rolled from her front onto her back. She did it 3 times in a couple of minutes so I'd like to think it wasn't a fluke. She's 3wks old this coming Wednesday. What is the milestone? Front to back or back to front? I didn't think I'd be thinking about milestones this soon. At what point do I need to be careful about swaddling/wrapping her up to sleep if she can roll?

FWIW Mine did this a few times in a row at 3 weeks and not again until 3 months. My dr. told me it isn't purposeful when they do it that young. I wouldn't worry about not swaddling unless you find she is rolling from back onto her front in her crib.

You can totally claim it though! Your child is basically a prodigy!!

My LO started rolling front to back at 3 weeks. She did it pretty consistently but wasn't big/strong enough to do it while swaddled. We swaddled until she was about 3.5 months. I knew it was time to stop cause she was strong enough to wiggle in the swaddle and move around the cosleeper although she never actually rolled in it.

L did that too and then hasn't again since! I'm still trying to convince him that we need to start rolling. He's having none of it!!

@illumina: Same as some of the previous posters - she did it a handful of times around 3-4 weeks, but wasn't doing it consistently for a couple months. She learned to roll back to front first & then front to back a few weeks later(opposite of normal), and we swaddled until she could do both at will.

@travellingbee: @emg86: @.twist.: @photojane: thank you! This makes me feel better!
@Cherrybee: haha! I will, even though today she was having none of it and cried after a minute on the floor!!

Xander rolled front to back like six times in a row around 5 weeks and then wouldn't do it again! To this day (7 months), he STILL struggles with it!
-
@illumina: E HATES tummy time! Really hates it! I don't think she will ever roll!
-
@Cherrybee: I don't think S really likes it- it's as if she rolls in frustration trying to get away from the floor!
