Rolling over

Hi mummies
My Little girl is 5 months old she rolled over three times then she stopped. I am worried about her development.
Usually she doesn’t like tummy time but I lay down with her and we do almost 15 minutes twice a day
Is that normal not to roll over until now?

My baby did this. She was rolling to the side frequently and then just stopped. I asked some of the mums in our baby groups and they said theirs did it too. Apparently they stop rolling sometimes when they are learning a new skill as they can’t always do two at once. She’s now blowing bubbles so that’s what it replaced 🤣x x

It is normal not to roll at 5 months. My girl wasn’t interested in rolling at all, she rolled front to back twice at 3.5 months and once again two weeks after that, nothing since. Last week I’ve noticed she was trying and trying, and rolled over from back to front three days ago, now I can’t put her down on her back as all she does is rolling.🙈😂 She never liked to be on her tummy too, but she’s got to like it now, I think she realised she can look around better on her tummy vs on her back. I did encourage rolling a lot though, we played a lot on our bed (as she loves it), and I was rolling her back and forth for fun. Not sure if that helped, but I think it did. Also, some babies skip rolling all together! As long as your little one develops in other areas, that is ok. Most babies wouldn’t crawl for example.🤷🏻‍♀️

My 5 month old son doesn’t roll. Recently he gets onto his side in his next to me crib but because it’s too small he can’t actually roll fully but as soon as I put him on the floor he won’t even attempt it so I’m not sure why he does in his crib 😂😂

A mother at music class said her LG did the same and at 7 months started again and did it perfectly from to back and back to front …

My baby only rolls back to front in the night, and then cries because he can't roll back. He doesn't do it during the day unless I slowly guide him to roll. Don't worry, they all do things at their own pace x

Mine rolled over three times at 4 months then he stopped. He started rolling over more the past week but it’s not everyday. I wouldn’t worry about it, all babies are different and they’ll go at their own pace. Mine is on the chunkier side, so he probably has to work harder to roll 😃

Similar happened to me, my son rolled from front to back at 3months, did it for about 2 weeks then stopped. He then learnt to roll from back to front instead which he continues to do. Now he’s almost 5 months and still never rolled front to back again! HV said he might have scared himself originally and will just do it again when ready 😊

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡
