My boy will be 7 months next week and he doesn't roll over. He will roll on his side when chewing his feet but will not roll over. Also hates tummy time too.
I feel like a failing parent when much younger babies are rolling and on their tummies at playgroup

Babies all learn at their own pace! Have you tried encouraging him to roll with a toy? I don't know if it will work but I think the best thing I did was to roll him over into tummy time rather than putting him down onto him tummy. He rolled within a week or so of that. If you're worried, might be worth speaking to your health visitor or GP I'm sure they can reassure you!

My baby is the same, does not seem to go for the full roll! I worry sometimes but I guess every baby is different! But he is very interested in standing up, seems to be happiest when we hold him standing!

My girl barely does it and only when promoted. She will be 7 months 9th dec. same with sitting up she can do it but only if you make a fuss if her lol 😂

Ok so I actually have a theory about this - do you mind me asking which percentile your little one is in for weight?

My 6.5 month old is the same! So worried that she’s behind. She doesn’t roll over and hates being on her tummy! She just doesn’t seem very strong.
sure, he is in the 50th percentile
mine is the same he loves to be held and stand up. Super strong in his legs but not so much on top half

This lives up to my theory! I think that babies who are around 50th percentile (and lower or even just abit higher) won’t weigh as much as babies who are in the higher percentiles. I think the babies in the higher percentiles are generally abit stronger and therefore a little quicker. I noticed this with my siblings - the ones weighing more were stronger and quicker whereas the ones weighing less needed abit more time xx

possible my baby is just an outlier in your theory but this doesn't apply to my 2nd percentile baby
