#asktheexpert when will baby start rolling

A. Babies typically start rolling over between 4 and 6 months of age. However, there can be some variation, as each baby develops at their own pace. Here’s a general timeline for rolling over: - **Around 4 Months:** Some babies begin to roll from their stomach to their back. - **Around 5 to 6 Months:** Many babies start rolling from their back to their stomach. - **6 to 7 Months:** By this time, most babies can roll both ways, and they often do it frequently. To encourage rolling, you can: - **Provide Tummy Time:** Regular tummy time helps strengthen the muscles needed for rolling. - **Encourage Reaching and Grasping:** Place toys just out of reach during tummy time to motivate your baby to move and roll. - **Give Them Space:** Allow your baby to explore and practice rolling on a safe, flat surface. If your baby is not rolling over by 6 months, it's generally not a cause for concern, but you may want to discuss it with your pediatrician to rule out any developmental concerns.
