What age did your little one start rolling over? Possible lazy baby?
My girl is 6 months and she has been trying to roll but hasn’t quite got the hang of it yet! She HATES tummy time so I can’t do that with her she cries the place down after 5 minutes of being on her belly and gets stressed! I’ve been trying to introduce some toys to look at but still not very interested in tummy time, she never has been! She has brilliant control with holding her head up and brilliant hand coordination passing things from hand to hand but the rolling just doesn’t seem to be quite there. I know they do it at their own pace! But what age was your little one when starting to roll? Any advice on how I can help her?
I do lie her on her back and she can get onto her side (when she can be bothered) and she needs a little help with the positioning of her legs to roll right over but I think she’s being lazy?😂

Mine can roll she just doesn’t like to I think she only does it by accident 😂 but my eldest didn’t roll until she crawled at 9 months x
When she's on her back try putting a toy she wants just out of reach so she has to roll to reach it. Something that makes a sound to get their attention can help.
To get her to enjoy tummy time more you could try positioning her in front of a mirror. That makes my baby laugh looking at herself!
My little boy is 6 months old (today!) and he rolled front to back, and then a few days later back to front. This was only around 2 weeks ago so 5.5 months. He isn’t a big fan of being on his front either - he will push up and hold his head high for a few mins then gets cross and starts to cry. He isn’t interested in toys when on his front but prefers to look at a mirror or at me. Putting a toy just out of reach in a big open space definitely encouraged him to roll back to front though! It’s funny how much he travels when trying to roll 😂
My boy was 7 months on the 25th march... he only rolled last week but is literally a pro at it already!
I was worried at first as my first baby was rolling both ways by 4 months! But they are so different in every way! Try not to compare to other babies!
My boy is 5.5 months and apart from hip thrusts which he’s been doing for a month he’s showing no interest 😬😂
my boy turned 6 months yesterday and he is the same!! He hip thrusts all the time and will use that to shuffle himself around but does not want to roll, also hates tummy time
