Brief Answer:
4-6 months, 4 months is early but between 4-6 is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Rolling over can take over as early as 4 months, but it can take up to 6 months or a few days more than that even in some children, and would be considered normal.

It all depends on the strength of the child's head and neck, and development but anywhere between 4-6 months is normal, so please do not worry.

I hope you find my response helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
