Rolling/trying to crawl

SharLovesAlex

I see there is a post for babies not rolling over so I'm curious...is anyone's baby rolling from their back to tummy? Mine does all the time. I put him on his back on his playmat to kick the little hanging toys, turn my back, and he's on his tummy, pushing and kicking and trying to move forward! Sometimes he's okay like that for a while, I put a crinkly book down there and he plays with it, but after a while he gets upset. I think he's frustrated because he can't crawl yet! Sometimes he will roll back onto his back, and just roll all over the mat. I often find him off the mat and on the carpet! Is anyone else's baby a little rolling machine?

My LO does this all the time! She has found if she pulls on the edge of the blanket she can move. At my parents house she will grab the carpet and pull herself inch by inch! I've also seen her do the back to tummy to back to tummy to back to tummy to go get a toy... Crazy little moving machine!

My daughter does this as well. She's managed to learn to scoot herself also. She always rolls off the blanket I've laid down for her and onto the carpet. Now when she sleeps, she rolls around in her crib and scoots herself into a corner and gets herself stuck. She only rolls to the right so she gets in a corner and can't get herself out.

Mine rolls from his tummy to his back any time we do tummy time. This morning I found him rolled over on his stomach crying his eyes out in his crib. I guess he can now roll back to tummy. He can't crawl yet but when he's on his tummy and stays that way he scoots his body forward with his legs and grabs hold of things to pull himself. He wants to be mobile so bad you can just see the determination and frustration on his face when he tries and can't do it yet. He's 16 weeks.

My daughter will be 17 weeks tomorrow. She started rolling right at 15 weeks. She got back to stomach down first and went stomach to back 3 days later.

I don't think any of the March babies are behind if they're not rolling yet. Luckily I'm a teacher and I'm home with my daughter every day for now since I'm on summer break. I'm sure that's helped since I pretty much just play with her all day.

I don't think so! In that other thread, the moms were saying their LO's weren't rolling yet at all...I wouldn't worry, but if you are, ask the peds. My LO is 17 weeks.

My baby is the same age and did back to tummy at 12 wks and tummy to back at 6 weeks... She is crazy strong and the pediatrician said that she has the muscle mass of a 6 month old. It'll come quicker to some babies but none I would consider behind at this point.
