My 5 Month Old Daughter Has Not Rolled Over Yet
Question: my 5 month old daughter has not rolled over yet in either direction. When should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Usually not rolling of the baby is not a matter of concern.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I understand your concern.
The baby may flip from back to front at six months because she needs a stronger neck and arm muscles for that maneuver.
Some babies may actually pull up before crawling at nine months old.
There is nothing to be worried about.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
