Peace of mind for those with nonrolling babies

We had LO's 6 mos checkup yesterday and I shared my concern of him not really rolling. He's done it a few times but not often or consistently. He is sitting though when you put him in a sitting position. She said that shows that he has good core strength and is developing his gross motor skills right on track. Some babies just sit, or even crawl before they roll, and that is just fine. Anyway, thought I'd share that because I know I'm not the only one who has worried about it.

    Thanks for the reassuring info!  My LO doesn't even want to try because she knows that it ends in tummy time.

    Evelyn is independently sitting now, and only has rolled on her own a few times.  My pedi didn't seem concerned at all, he reassured me that she's on track with everything else.  She will roll to her side to reach for a toy, but will not roll all the way.  I usually give her a little push and she flies over to her belly.  When we do tummy time to starts whining and doesn't roll to her back.  She's almost 7 months and not rolling.   I just think she avoid it at all costs because she doesn't like it.  She has great head control and can almost sit up from her back.  If she grabs my fingers when she lays on her back, she will pull herself up to sit upright.  I just don't know why she's choosing not to roll!

    My LO rolled for about 2 weeks at 4 months and hasn't since then, babies are strange!

    She also doesn't laugh, so I'm interested to see what the pedi says at her 6 month checkup, I hope those two things don't matter too much.

    I brought it up this week too and my pedi said similar things about core strength and sitting. She also said that some reflux babies don't roll and go straight to crawling to escape from tummytime.

    He also rolled a few times between 3-4 months but not since. Pedi was not concerned but I asked her to check his hips and she said they were fine
