Rolling

Hi everyone! My almost 5 month old is showing no signs of caring to roll. He’s done it a couple of times, but he’d rather try sitting up. Any suggestions?

I was having this problem with my baby so I decided to stop structuring every moment of her wake windows and just let her get bored on the floor and within two weeks she started rolling all over the place constantly and grabbing/playing with her toes. I’m not sure if it was letting her get bored or she just developmentally decided it was time but that’s what helped us!

My 5 1/2 yr old did the same. She started rolling back to belly, but never really belly to back. I almost thought she was going to just skip rolling altogether, but within the last couple of days, she’s decided she wants to roll all over the place. So it may just be your babe needs a little more time.

My baby 4 soon to be 5 months old got no interest in rolling either. He rather sit then do tummy time but he is starting to grab his feet

I would place my baby on his side and let him look in a mirror or play with a toy and then after a few I would help him roll by leading with the hips(we see a chiro and she’s given me to a of tips) and after practicing with him for a few days I would let him start to reach for a toy on his side on his own and he would start to try to roll and eventually after two weeks he got it himself fully. Lots of just floor time right now and letting him explore himself helped too

As much tummy time as possible
