My son started turning over at 3 months.
It was easiest for us to lay him on his stomach and prop up his upper part a little bit. This gave him some leverage to turn over. It wasn't something he did constantly until he was almost 5 months.
Try just keeping her on her stomach as much as possible. Help position her arms and start to help roll her over. Let her do most of it though. She will get the hang of it soon enough and be rolling back and forth like crazy!

All babies are different and you shouldn't worry unless you see signs that something is wrong with her. My daughter rolled over at 8 days, but she weighed 9 pounds, so she was half grown, lol. My son was 4 months old when he rolled over the first time. So, as you can see (read), there is no set standard for rolling over.

my daughter was 3 months but my sisters baby who was very chubby started rolling over around 5-6 months. My daughter rolled for the first time on Christmas we bout her this 3 in one toy were it was tummy time and a tunnel and for their backs the can see the toys that were hanging up. We hung the toys and layed her on her tummy and one of the toys played music so she wanted to see it and rolled over to see what it was.

all babies develop differently. all of my boys rolled over around 3 to 4 months old, but they were early with EVERYTHING. i would lay the baby on the floor and hold a toy up so they can see it and want to grab it. slowly move it either right or left so they want to keep grabbing the toy and eventually they will get strong enough to follow it and roll over.

Try laying down a blanket on the floor and then put her on there for a few minutes so she can try to practice rolling over. Just give her some time and do that everyday and she will have it in no time.

awwww.Well every child IS different. My lil one was 4 1/2 months. I know some newborns can,so be careful! between newborn and 5 months though.
let them play on belly and sleep on back/side-those are new statistics.
tummy play will increase muscle strength!

All babies are their own person. If she shows movement towards wanting to turn give her alittle help, don't force it. Little helping hands. She should be starting soon.
