#asktheexpert my baby doesn’t roll till.. he cries while tummy time & having gastric problem a lot. Kindly suggest

Question

Accepted Answer

sometimes rolling over can come after 4-5 months so no need to worry for that and it is not necessary that it should come early. many times the weight of the child is more and that also delays the rolling.
if if the growth and weight of the child is within normal limits then no need to worry about it. just carry out regular massage and proper diet and the child will be fine in next few months
 the recurrent stretching / curving of the body again and again as well as uncomfort / making grunting sounds as well as hiccups as well as colic pain all are due to gas in the intestine and stomach.
it is very important that after giving milk to the child you
 should keep the child in upright position and do burping for 15 to 20 minutes(irrespective that you hear the burps or not). gas in stomach causes hiccups.
do not keep the child back on the bed after 1 burping because one time burping will not remove all the gas and if the gas is not removed properly it goes into intestine causing abnormal distension ands that will lead to colic pain again and again.
keep the child in upright position whether you hear the burping sound or not and also it is not important that you will hear the sounzd when the child removes the air from the oral cavity.

Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much and most if the babies start rolling between the age of three months to five months and also if baby cry in tummy position hen better to evaluate once with your child doctor in person and follow the prescription after that.
