my DD is 5 mths today and has yet to roll over from either direction. she can hold herself up great and has almost rolled from back to tummy but gets 3/4 of there and gives up. she is pretty close to sitting up without support but doesn't really seem interested in rolling over. anyone else's LO like this?

    Mine!!

    He doesn't seem to have any interest in doing it either. I have held toys up, I've laid out of sight to where he would have to roll to see me and nothing. I'm not totally concerned as I was told that some babies never roll. And think about it, have you ever met a kindergardener that can't roll over?

    Everyone once in a great while he will roll from tummy to back. Hasn't done back to tummy yet. But like I said, he's hardley done it.

    Yup! DD is just about 5 months and has only rolled over once and I think it was by accident.. I asked her pedi about it and he said that some babies skip the whole rolling over thing and go straight to scooting/crawling. It's perfectly normal, babies don't HAVE to roll over.

    good to know it's normal :) i wasn't too worried but then my mom keeps asking me if she's rolling over yet every time i talk to her and so i started to wonder..

     

    thanks ladies :)

    M actually rolled over all by herself for the first time yesterday.  Dont worry if your LO skips this step.

    Sounds exactly what my DD was doing until Tuesday when she finally rolled for the first time. I missed it, but she did it for my yesterday twice! I think I read they need to be doing it by the end of the fifth month so there is still time.

    DS just started to roll over on Monday. Now he does it constantly - including in his sleep, which is annoying because he wakes up when he realizes he flipped onto his belly.
