Tips to encourage rolling?

Question

Just wondering if any of you amazing Moms had any tips to encourage my 5 month old to roll over from his tummy to his back? He has mastered rolling from his back to his tummy. I want to encourage this because he has been rolling in his sleep but he is unable to roll back onto his back which makes me nervous. Any tips are greatly appreciated! We do a lot of tummy time during the day.

Answer

Tummy to back is typically the easier  skill so it’s quite possible he physically can, just hasn’t felt the need. My LO did around 2 months, but now that he can roll the other direction & is so happy with tummy time, he never does. I  would just help him roll anytime  you want him on his back. If you’re just laying him down to play, set him on his belly and then take one hand and help him roll to his back. Then try helping a little less each time.

Answer

My son also rolled back to belly first and he’d roll to his belly in his crib all the time. Your best bet is to just practice it with him. Put him on his belly and help him roll to his back. Eventually he’ll learn it. No rush. My son didn’t get it down pat until about 7 months.
