When do babies start rolling over, and is it normal if mine isn't rolling yet?

Babies typically roll over between 4 and 7 months, mastering one direction before the other, and the community widely reassures that delayed or one-way rolling is normal as long as the baby is progressing in its own time.

Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.

1. 1

   Babies typically roll between 4 and 7 months, tummy-to-back first around 4-5 months and back-to-tummy a few weeks later. By 7 months most can roll both ways; every baby develops at its own pace.

2. 2

   Babies often master back-to-tummy before tummy-to-back, and the reverse roll follows within a few weeks to a couple of months; lots of supervised tummy and floor practice helps them figure it out.

3. 3

   A 5.5-month-old not rolling willingly yet is not a concern; some babies don't roll till around 7 months.

4. 4

   Some babies skip steps entirely - one didn't crawl until 7 months and directly started sitting.

5. 5

   Many babies start rolling around 5.5 months.

6. 6

   If your baby only does a half-roll inconsistently at 4 months, that's within the normal range.
