He was born early, born 5 weeks early but has really caught up and is doing awesome! He just isn't interested enough to get the roll over. I push him over and help him but he is not doing it yet on his own. When did your babies roll? Any thing I can do to help stimulate him more? I have tried toys and things to intice him too. Thanks!
This is my first baby and he started rolling side around 5 months, but by 6 months he was rolling over to both sides. My one brother took much longer to rool over though, so it is different for each child. Do not worry to much everything will be okay. Good luck.
I would say don't stress.. my son is 5 1/2 months and about a month ago he rolled over a few times on his own and then refused. I even put toys on another blanket next to him and he just figured out that he could grab the other blanket and pull and the toy would come, smart bugger..Then this weekend all of sudden I was changinf him and he roled over on his own and now won't stop. I say it just all comes when they are ready and well motivated. Just breathe and enjoy the little guy ;o) .
Every child is so different! I was worried like you about my son. He was a very lay back baby and didn't roll over until he was 6 months old, and then still didn't start doing it all the time until about 7 or 8. I stressed for no reason about everything! He didn't even crawl until he was 10 months! I tried everything too, but I finally stopped stressing about it and realized he is a perfectly healthy boy, just a little stubborn! We are not text book, and our children are not either. It sounds like you have a great little boy and you need to enjoy the fact that he is so lay back, trust me, once he starts you'd wish he'd lay there again!! :)
I wouldn't worry about it. You have to remember that because he was 5 weeks early he is really only a 3 1/2 or 4 month old developmentally. My daughter didn't roll over until after 5 she was 5 months old and she wasn't early at all. She also started crawling less than a month after she rolled over. You shouldn't worry for at least another month or two.
My oldest son rolled over at 4 months. However my youngest son didn't roll over until he was over 5 months, and even then he didn't do it very often. He didn't really start doing it on a regular basis until he was about 6 months. I have found with all his milestones he is behind his older brother. All babies move at their own pace and I think their personality has a lot to do with it. My oldest is anxious and a go getter, where my youngest mister easy going and in no hurry for anything.
When your son is ready or gets bored he will eventually get it. The best thing I can reccomend is just be patient and don't read all the articles that say what babies should be doing at a certain age (they just cause stress). Just give him pleanty of time on the floor to play and lean.
