Babies: 3 - 6 Months

3 month old not rolling over yet....

Is this ok??? Some places I read that they should do it anywhere from 2-3 months, and then some places I read that it is 3-4 months.... What do you think?

Re: 3 month old not rolling over yet....

  • I wouldn't worry about it.  DS wasn't rolling until 4 months.  Now we can't get him to sit still.

  • I think 3 months is a little early.  More like 4-6 I think.

  • Three months is on the early side of normal.  Most references will tell you when something COULD be happening but you don't really need to be concerned until they've passed the stage where they SHOULD be doing something, kwim?  All babies are different :)

  • DD just rolled today back to belly for the first time, and then has been doing it all day since.
  • Mine is almost 5 months and not rolling. A few times accidentally from belly to back at 2.5 months, but otherwise nothing!! She gets half way on her side now when she's on her back. I wouldn't worry. 1ht

  • DS has rolled belly to back once and that was 2 days ago.  He's close to rolling back to belly but gets stuck on his side.

    I wouldn't worry about it yet.

  • My daughter is just about 5 months. She has rolled from belly to back about 10 times and back to belly once. She just doesnt seem interested in it. So I wouldnt worry about it
  • Hudson started rolling back to front on Monday.  I mentioned it to our daycare provider today, and she said he was doing it all day yesterday and we couldn't stop him from doing it last night too.  It is his new "thing", he loves to do it, and now I have something else to worry about!  (Rolling off the changing table)

    I thought the same thing, but everyone I talk to now tells me that he is REALLY early to be doing this.

  • My DD will be 4 months next week and she doesn't roll at all - whether back to front or front to back.  She only gets as far as her side.  All babies are different.

  • My nearly 6-month-old has just now gotten into rolling over.  No worries.

  • DD hasn't given any indication she is anywhere near rolling over.  Babies all do things at different times.  A child could be late rolling over, but an early walker.

  • DD doesn't roll, nor has she had any inclination or even attempted. Those months are guidelines, not set in stone rules. Not every baby will adhere to them, and that doesn't mean anything negative is going on :)
  • My daughter is almost 5 months and still doesn't roll. The ladies in my Mommy group said most of their kids never rolled at all.

  • Mine will sometimes roll from belly to back and can almost roll from back to belly.  But he usually just gets stuck on his side and then gets mad!
