Best tips for rolling?!

Question

Baby is 6 months and still not rolling! Best tips and tricks?! (Seems like we’ve tried it all...)

Answer

At my daughter's 6 month appointment I brought up she wasn't rolling in either direction. He said her core muscles were fine and to check back in a couple weeks. If she wasn't rolling he would send her to a PT. As of Friday she still wasn't rolling and I spent a ton of time making phone calls to insurance and PT etc. On Sat she finally rolled tummy to back 🤦‍♀️ On Sunday she did it again. Twice! Moral of the story, try not to worry. As long as baby is progressing in other ways and the pediatrician isn't worried, everything is fine. Some babies never roll. Some roll a handful of times. Others use it as their main way of getting around. Lol. They're individuals and milestones are really just an average age. There is a large spectrum of normal.

Answer

Ask for a PT referral. They will give you a ton of great suggestions.
Please baby on their side often to make them choose a direction to role. Roll them often to show them how done.
My son was never much of a roller. I saw him do it a couple times, so I knew he could, but rolling wasnt motivating to him.

Answer

My girl never rolled (that I saw). She just eventually started crawling and then walked by 10 months. Keep doing tummy time and other physical activities as usual.
I wouldn’t worry if everything else is going okay and talk to your pediatrician if you’re really concerned.
