MY baby is 4 1/2 mths old & has not rolled over yet!! Is she a little late?

Answer 1

No. The average baby rolls front to back between 3 and 6 months (see sources section below), and from back to front between 4 and 7 months. But not all healthy babies are average, either.

Answer 2

Usually a baby can roll over by the end of the fourth month. Babies vary and it is not too worrisome if your child is not rolling over yet. Your baby should be doing most of these activities now:
* May sleep about six hours at night before waking (total sleep typically 14 to 17 hours)
* Rolls over (usually stomach to back is first)
* Sits with support
* Lifts head up 90 degrees
* Can follow a moving object for a 180-degree arc
* Babbles and amuses self with new noises
* Responds to all colors and shades
* Explores objects with his mouth
* Recognizes a bottle or breast
* Communicates pain, fear, loneliness and discomfort through crying
* Responds to a rattle or bell
Don't worry if she can't do all the things on the list. Children progress at different rates. If she is not able to do at least some of these things, then you should discuss this with your pediatrician. One way to ensure that your child develops physically is to get down on the floor and play with her.

Answer 3

Rolling over is a milestone that is very specific. Your baby should now be smiling at your face (they do that at a max of three months), have head control (should be able to hold up her head when held vertically). In a month or so she should reach out for objects and also bring both her hands together in the midline. How does she feel? if she feels very stiff (increased muscle tone) or very floppy, then there may be cause for concern.
Was she a premie? Premature babies are a little late in everything.
Finally I have not seen your baby - if you are worried, a visit to the pediatrician may allay your fears if all is well.

Answer 4

Some kids just take their time
If she was 7 months then I would be concerned
My youngest was 5 almost 6 months when she did and really did not crawl until she was between 9 and 10 months.
She just turned a year and does not walk.
She is normal and nothing wrong with her.
My oldest was walking at 10 1/2 months
All kids develop differently.

Answer 5

not at all..while most babies roll over by their 5th month birthdays there are a great percentage of children that dont roll over until after that. It depends upon how her muscles are developing and her desire to move around..some kids are just more contented than others to lay on their backs and play with their hands...Im sure she will be rolling over within the next few weeks.

Answer 6

some little ones truthfully do roll more advantageous than others.... My oldest son we had to really coerce him to objective to roll over - and he replaced into 7 months old! He in no way extremely were given the dangle of it, and did not have distinct interest in it. Which genuinely i chanced on replaced into good, because my second son all started rolling over round 3 months old - ugh, I then had many a sleepless evening because he'd turn onto his abdomen, couldn't turn back, ought to cry, or roll right into a nook, etc..... My first son replaced into smaller than my second son too. i imagine each toddler is purely diverse and could do it even as they are waiting! good success!! :)

Answer 7

My best friends baby didn't fully roll over until he was eight months old, but a week after he learned to roll over he was crawling and a month after that walking. My daughter rolled over at about four months and was walking by seven. You just never know.

Answer 8

Don't worry, kids develop at different times. So long as your baby is thriving, don' fret about it. Just enjoy being with her right now. Pretty soon, you'll be running after her and thinking back to today and wishing (on some days) that you could turn back time.

Answer 9

No need to worry. Every child is different and every child is going to develop at his or her own pace. One of the worst things a parent can do is compare what their child is doing to what another child is doing or even compare their development to what is considered "the norm." A child will do things when they are ready. Trust me, we, as parents, are in such a rush for them to walk and talk and then when they start, they never stop. :0) Your daughter is fine and healthy, I am sure. Relax and enjoy every moment with her. She will do it when she is ready. Congrats on the baby. They are truly a gift from God.

Answer 10

No worries, always remember every baby is his/her own individual. it will all happen in good time. Some take on Little faster than others but that doesn't mean ****. Like my kid started teething at 12 months, whilst my friends kid started teething at 4 months....no diff, its all in the growing process. In short its very normal.
