When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

Just curious - he has been trying so hard to do it, making little grunting noises and everything!

His darn shoulder and arm keep getting in the way - but this morning after his bath, I put the towel on the little rug, and he went RIGHT for it and even tried tucking his shoulder.... So I think it will be soon. He is 12 weeks old - this is the time he should be doing this, right?

I think they USUALLY do this around 3-4 months....Mikayla is not quite there yet but she does try to go on her side if I put her to sleep on her back......way to go Cailen

Christopher at 3 and a half months...Matthew at 4

Re: When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

They do belly to back first, which is why you're supposed to give them tummy time. DS was able to get himself both ways a little after 3 months. Once he figured out how to get onto his belly, he started sleeping that way- and he slept for A LOT longer.

Re: When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

I just checked this milestone wheel that came in the mail yesterday...it lists at 4 months: can roll over from back to belly OR bellly to back. I don't think it matters which one they do first...probably whichever is easier for the individual baby they will do first. For 3 months, it said rolls from side to back.

And remember, that's just a "standard" timeframe...some do it much earlier (smaller babies tend to) and some babies take longer. A lot of it has to do with weight and muscle developement combined...the bigger the body, the harder the arms and legs have to work to move it around.

Re: When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

Right before she turned 5 months.

Re: When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

Nate did back to belly around 3.5 months. Jayden can turn on his side but can't quite turn onto his belly.

Re: When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

Taylor actually rolled belly to back this morning....at 4 months. She doesnt seem to have an interest in going back to belly yet.

Re: When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

Two days after she turned 3 months. She was rolling to her side at 2.5 months.

She rolled from belly to back at 5 months.

In that case, my little 15 lb meatball should be rolling over at, let's see, a year

Re: When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

I think most babies usually do back to belly first...Aly did that at 2 mths old but then stopped doing it consistantly till 5 mths.? She did belly to back at 6 mths.

Re: When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

I'm a bad momma, I really cannot remember when Niko started consistently rolling

I am thinking it was about 4 months. He definitely did back to belly first, because he hates being on his belly and would flip and scream and I'd have to get up numerous times to flip him back over Belly to back followed a litle while later..

Re: When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

Kaylee started at 2.5 months She's been consistently trying to catch up to her big brother ever since.

DS-3months
DD-4 1/2 months

Re: When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

Kara stared on Wed at 5 months. She has been rolling belly to back for about 3 weeks though.

Re: When did your DC roll over (back to belly)

My dd rolled onto her stomach twice when she was only two months but hasnt rolled in the six weeks since. Now it seems like when she gets to her side she is so content there and no longer tries to get the whole way over like she used to constantly try to do.
