I have a 5 month old son who is not rolling over from back to tummy- I know that all babies do not develop the same way but I was just wondering if I should be concerned or not. Also when should he be sitting up on his own. I think I just need some re-assuring :)
Thanks ladies
My son was 7 months old before he rolled over by himself. I hear you on the concerns though. I am currently stressing out because my son is 11 months old and crawls all over the place but has no interest in standing on his own or pulling up to objects. I called our doctor and she said everyone develops different. She said not to worry yet, some babies just take their time. Call your doctor if you are concerned.

We have our first coming in June, so I don't have first-hand experience, but I hope this helps!

My daughter is almost 7 months and still doesn't roll from tummy to back, only back to tummy. Babies do their own thing....don't stress out about when they do what. :) She sat up just before she was 6 months, but we know quite a few babies born just a couple weeks after her that aren't yet. The bumbo seat really helped her and we propped her up too. Good luck and I'm sure your little one is doing great!!
My son started rolling from tummy to back at 6 wks. We thought he was a genius! :) But, he didn't roll from back to front until almost 9 months. (My daughter was doing this at 4 1/2 mo. so we were a little concerned) By 10 1/2 months he was walking like a pro. If all his other development is on track, I wouldn't worry about it. Babies have their own schedule for things. Go with your instinct, it's always right.

I wouldn't worry. My son didn't roll over until he was almost 5 mo old and he only learned to sit up by himself when he started to crawl at 9 mo. He walked shortly after that (10 mo.) Once he starts you won't be able to keep up with him. :P
