Holy Rollers!

Which way did baby first roll?

Back to belly for us.

Back to belly here. I mentioned to my pedi that I thought this was unusual, but he told me this is becoming more common ever since the "Back to Sleep" initiative has more babies being put on their backs more often, so it just naturally happens more frequently now. (The more you know)

Belly to back came almost a month before back to belly, mostly due to DH's love for forcing him to do exercise.
Now I can't stop him rolling all over the place even for a minute.

He did belly to back first but I think it was more of a fluke the few times he did it. He consistently does back to belly now but doesn't do belly to back at all. So he rolls into his belly at night, gets stuck and wakes up. Really looking forward to him being able to roll back so he doesn't wake himself up!

He rolled belly to back at 4 weeks. Then decided he was too cool for it and just likes to scream and flail until I help him. I will roll him halfway and then he will purposefully roll himself back and proceed to scream and flail some more. Stubborn kid. Sometimes he does it accidentally though.

Belly to back.

I'm such a bad mom because I have no idea which he did first (so I voted SS even though I'm not Canadian).  He can do both but I think he rolled back to belly first.

Back to belly. That's all she does for her life, I cannot put her down for a minute without she doing it. At the beginning she would cry and scream right away, now she chills like that for a while until she gets bored. No belly to back yet, she just did it once but I think it was a fluke.

Curious: are your rollers rolling both directions? Mine will go both ways off his tummy, but seems to have accepted that he can only roll to the right from his back.  He pins himself into his crib corner all the time.  Thank goodness for video monitors!

Back to belly here too. She doesn't necessarily care to do it though. She is a bit chunky so it's a lot of work. She loves to sit/stand.

This! lol. She's gotten almost all the way over once in my presence but that darnned elbow got in the way. DH and I were arguing Saturday so he took her in her room to play on the play mat and said he got her to do both but didn't show me. X(

He tries back to belly, but still can't quite complete the roll yet.  I'm a little jealous that all of your babies are rolling already, but he'll get it eventually.

My chunker rolled back to belly at his 4 month checkup, but hasn't done it since. He is really strong, sits up basically by himself and stands with little support- but just isn't into the whole rolling thing I guess? Or maybe I just hold him waaaaaaay too much :-)

Thanks to this thread, I have a super old Kingston Trio song stuck in my head. I will try to find in YouTube so you can all join me.

I hope this works. Ignore the talking at the beginning.

@DagnyDoo‌ My guy only rolls to the right, can't seem to figure out to the left, even with help!

Belly to back.

@babygabe614 that's interesting!

This made me laugh.

C started rolling front to back. Now he rolls both ways and is now mobile thanks to discovering if he continues rolling he can get places.

I think LO is way to laid back to roll. She hates tummy time and will roll to her side when on her back but that's it. She loves to sit up almost unsupported and she loves to stand. But no rolling here.

THIS.  Word for word.

Also, he only rolls from one side (towards his right).  He never rolls toward his left.

Mine rolls back to belly but at night I don't like it because she can't roll back and falls to sleep on her belly. Which is okay with me but sometimes she's sleeping with her hands on her eyes but face planted in the mattress. I keep going in there and moving her head and then I wake her up. Ugh! My husband says that now she's 5 months old she can lift her head and roll she's not going to lay there if she can't breath.

He's only rolled a handful of times and I think they were just accidents.  He can sit-up unsupported and loves to stand.  I guess rolling isn't his thing.

jenlynne0624

Belly to back at 9 weeks and only sporadically since then. Has only gone back to side and doesn't seem to care to roll in general. He prefers to stand with support and sit with little support.

I feel so much better seeing all these "no interest in rolling" posts. I was worried because I thought 4 month was the "should be rolling over" time window but DD doesn't seem too interested either. Thanks for making me feel better

Belly to back.  Little bugger waited till I turned my back to do it too.  Has not done it since.

Back to belly first, and one time she has turned belly to back. But this pretty much sums her up right now: 

Love this!

Started belly to back, then moved from back to belly and haven't gone back to belly to back. I wish he would because he now gets stuck.
