Ask your HV by all means but my 5.5month old isn’t interested either. She rolls onto her side if there’s something she wants but won’t roll onto her front.
I find babies choose what they like to work on and don’t do all these milestones in a straight line. at the moment my little one likes playing sat up and likes babbling a lot. I’m not concerned about the rolling yet ☺️

My girl is the same. She rolled in her cot the other week but hasn’t done it since. She’s just not interested in it, she hated tummy time so I think that might be why. She does go tummy to back when I put her on her belly. She’s loves sitting up & is close to doing that unaided so I’m not worrying to much at the minute . They’ll get there!

I really wouldn’t worry! My little one rolled the day before turning 6 months! You’ve got time :)

Some babies never roll & that's fine. HVs don't actually count it as a milestone because some babies don't. Mine is the same age & she's not rolling yet or sitting up unaided, but she's still thriving. Try not to worry! X

I would be happy. Mine is obsessed with tummy time but can't go from front to back so have to help her and when she rolls in her cot she goes down with a thud and wakes herself up and sometimes cries heheheh.

I even show her how to do it on the floor next to her...but typical woman she takes no notice heheheh

My little one was just a few days before 6 months when he started and it's like it happened overnight as I didn't see any signs of trying before x

My girl was just over 6 months and she can only roll one way ☺️ don’t worry she’ll get there x

I wouldn't worry, my little girl had hip dysplasia and was in a harness for 12 weeks. She is way behind hitting movement milestones, compared to other babies her age. They all learn at different stages. 💗🫶

Mine isn't rolling or sitting up, but they all reach milestones at different times, so try not to worry. I know from experience with my eldest who didn't sit till 7 months, roll till after that, and was a late crawler and walker, that none of that matters now. He's doing it all, and I spent too much time worrying and comparing

My little girls is the same age and she doesn’t really roll. She only does front to back on her own twice and then she gets upset.

My 5.5 nth old can sit for 15 mins unaided but is still not rolling! She stood up using the play gym yesterday, so I think she may just skip rolling altogether

I wouldnt be as worried if she was doing something else instead but she isnt doing anything
