baby doesnt want to roll over - help?

[Crosby]

My dd is 3.5 months and doesnt like tummy time or rolling over. I think she first rolled over at 2 months but then nothing for weeks and now im happy if she rolls over once a day. And she doesnt like being on her tummy. After 3-5 min she starts whining. I try to put her on tummy several times a day. I include toys and fairy lights and baby and talking. Max time she spent on tummy was 15 min. She can spend 15 min and Not rollover or she can rollover as soon as i put her on tummy.

She hasnt evem attempted rolling from back to front yet.

All milestones says she should be rolling over comfortably now ((((

Don't stress it! She still super young. I'm not sure where you've read that she should be rolling comfortably by now, because it's perfectly normal for lots of babies not to roll at that age.
My ds rolled a few times at 3 months, and then didn't do it again until 6 months. Then he realised he could get around the house by rolling, and in a couple of days started army crawling instead.

You sound like you're doing everything right. And don't worry, one day out of nowhere, she will start enjoying tummy time. And then before you know it, she will want to roll over onto her belly all the time-- even during nappy changes haha

She is still very young. My daughter didn't roll until she was 7 months. Honestly it drove me crazy because it felt like I just waited and waited and she didn't even try. But when she finally did roll over she did it perfectly and never stopped. My son has been rolling over since he was 13 weeks old. They are all different

My dd is 4 months on weds and she's never even attempted to roll over. She also hates tummy time and makes no attempt to hold her head up when on her tummy. She probably manages about 30 seconds on her tummy before she starts crying!

dd1 was exactly the same with tummy time and never really did grow to like it. I think I gave up putting her on her tummy in the end.

My DD has been able to roll easily both directions since she was 12 weeks old. Although she can do it, she almost never does. The only time she will really roll is if we put her to bed on her back she will immediately roll to her tummy to go to sleep. Otherwise she just isn't that interested in rolling. I wouldn't worry too much about it, all babies develop at their own pace.

My son never rolled over - not once - until he was eight months old.

Then the day that he did it, he started to push himself onto his hands and knees, and 24 hours later he was crawling like an expert.

Milestone 'standards' are not useful if you look at them in isolation. What you need to think is "Is my child showing progress in this area?" rather than "Has my child 'achieved' this milestone by this time?"

Don't stress at all. She is very young. Dd1 rolled over at 4.5 months. Dd2 is also 3.5 months. She rolls in her side but not over. She lifts her bottom up and shifts around using her feet.

I don't do tummy time. Dd2 hates it. There are plenty of studies showing that they will develop properly if left to work it out themselves. Neither is it a difference in brains or ability to develop at different stages.

Your dd sounds like she is doing well.

My DD will be 6 month at the end of May and she rolled over once from tummy to back and i think by accident
She is my second, so i am not worried at all, she moves around different way by pushing her bum up and pushing off with her legs
My DS was not walking till he was 15month and i was very worried..but now he rans almost faster than me
