Baby is not rolling, should I worry?

Question

My 5 month and 2 weeks old baby boy is not rolling. I havent been worried about it and have been waiting patiently for it to happen soon for a few weeks now but it had not crossed my mind as a potential issue until today when the maternal and child health nurse came to see him today and asked if he is rolling and when i said not yet she kind of gave me a look. Anyway a while after she left, she called me back to check his book for his weight because she had forgotten to write it down for her records and so when i got the book i saw she had written and underlined not rolling in the comment section. Should i be concerned?

Answer

No, you’re still within the range of normal. My second rolled back to belly for the first time at 6m3d

Answer

I’ve literally just written a really similar comment to another lady. Babies are sooo varied. My first rolled once at 5 months then didn’t bother properly until 6 months and then my second baby has just rolled for the first time at 16 weeks exactly and the next day he’s non stop rolling. My first baby liked to take his time with things but always got there and is perfectly healthy (a little naughty but healthy) don’t worry about her, she’s unprofessional if she made you feel your baby is behind and she certainly shouldn’t have written anything in the book to indicate that to you either. Your baby will roll in their own sweet time
