A. It's normal for babies to achieve milestones at their own pace, and not all babies roll over exactly at the same age. By 6 months, many babies are starting to roll over, but some may take a bit longer. Here's what you can consider: 1. Tummy Time: Ensure that your baby is getting plenty of tummy time while awake. Tummy time helps strengthen the muscles needed for rolling over and other motor skills. 2. Encouragement: You can encourage rolling over by gently helping your baby to roll from back to tummy or tummy to back. Try using toys or your voice to motivate them to move. 3. Check for Signs of Other Developmental Milestones: Rolling over is just one of many milestones. Look for other signs of progress, like reaching for objects, supporting their head well, and sitting with support. If your baby isn’t rolling over by 6 months but is otherwise developing well, there is likely no reason for concern. However, if you’re worried or notice other delays, it’s always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician to rule out any issues.
