Rolling Over
Typical age: 4 months
Rolling over is a thrilling milestone that usually begins around 4 months. Most babies roll from tummy to back first, then master back to tummy a month or two later. This milestone marks the beginning of independent mobility.
Signs to Look For
- ✓Rolls from tummy to back during play
- ✓Pushes up on arms during tummy time
- ✓Rocks side to side when on their back
- ✓May roll from back to tummy by 5-6 months
When to Talk to Your Pediatrician
Every child develops at their own pace. However, talk to your doctor if you notice:
- •No rolling in either direction by 6 months
- •Only rolls to one side consistently
- •Seems unable to push up on arms during tummy time
