If yes, are they doing it tummy to back or back to tummy? Do you do tummy time with them and for how long?
I know it’s different for each babies but I’m trying to understand if doing more tummy time actually helps or not. Thanks!

Hi, My daughter has just turned 5 month old , she can do tummy to back and back to tummy , we have always done regular tummy time she really enjoys it .

Hey! Second time mom here, baby rolling both ways now.
I had 2 under 2 so most of his day was spent in a carrier, then on the floor maybe an hour tops each day (i felt awful as i wasnt doing ANY dedicated tummy time really).
If baby has lots of time in a carrier that can partly substitute for tummy time as the core muscles are being engaged x

My baby rolls onto his side and that’s about it! He don’t really have much interest in rolling 🫣 x

My baby rolls front to back. And onto her side. She seems more interested in shuffling herself round in circles with her feet haha all floor time we do has a smal fraction of tummy time. Maybe an hour a day split into intervals as she hates it x

My baby rolls when she wants to! I’ve seen her do Tummy to back once never again, and back to Tummy a handful of times! She pivots around the floor in circles lol, but she is nearly sitting unsupported! X

My 5 month old rolled belly to back three times at 3 months old and then never rolled again 🤣 I’m not concerned as she loves tummy time and does loads so it’s not due to not enough tummy time, she is started the motions of trying to move so I think she’ll skip rolling and go straight to crawling. For context, my first did not much tummy time as hated it and she rolled both ways early. I think sometimes they just will do what they want when they want x

Hey! FTM here. My Lo learned tummy to back fairly quickly as shes always been a front sleeper and if I dont get to her cot quick enough gets annoyed and flips herself 🤣 but she has recently learned back to front. I do about 2h floor mat time a day and she tends to just lye however shes comfortable now hahaha

My 5 month old has never once rolled belly to back, but as soon as I put her on her mat, instantly rolls back to belly 🤣 she’s never liked tummy time though so a lot of my day consists of rolling her back as she’ll scream until I do so🤣

Its just u till she gets annoyed mainly. Its a mixture, because she flips herself it tends to be me flipping her back to her tummy every so often but id say half and half really
