Baby can roll from back to belly already?!

KHadden26 · June 2013

Sooo DH put Charlotte down on an ottoman, so a somewhat soft surface on her back and walked away. I was watching her and said I think she's going to roll on her side, and he said he thought she wouldn't be able to do it yet. Well, she rolled on her side, so I went over to make sure she didn't keep rolling off of the ottoman and then after a bit rolled onto her belly!

I thought it took babies longer to turn like that -- girl is only 4 days old! Just felt like sharing because I was so surprised!

And a pic for your pleasure! or mine haha

Wow, that does seem so soon for that! Thanks for the adorable pic! All the sweet pics make me want to be able to hold my sweet little girl! I guess I'm catching the anxious bug

One of my friend's newborn spontaneously rolled very early. I don't think he could do it whenever he wanted, it was more an uncontrolled thrust but I was impressed.

Probably what this was! I'm sure she had no idea what she was doing!

DD would do that when she was a newborn but she didnt have any control over it. Once she was a little older she stopped doing the accidental rolls and learned how to actually roll to get what she wanted

Such a cute picture! I have heard of babies managing spontaneous rolls early on too -- pretty crazy! Better not leave her on anything high up!

Such a sweet little picture. I went to a breast feeding class today, and the instructor said babies are born with the ability to partially roll and crawl in their first couple weeks to find food. I never knew this!! Your little lady proved her right!!

Colt does it too. I put him on his back in the crib and he rolls sideways. But I agree, I think he just squirms enough that he accidentally does it.

My son rolled over after a few weeks any by 2 months he was rolling over in both directions on his own! It made for a very nervous mom during the night and I would always roll him back to his back.
