As the title suggests, my baby isn't doing what everyone else's baby seems to be doing at this age! Is this normal for some babies or is she just a slow starter? Not too bothered, just worried Incase there's something wrong? Ftm alert!!!! Lol ??

My dd didn't roll front to back until she was 5 1/2 months and didn't roll the other way until 7 months. She's a perfectly fine 2 1/2 yr old now who runs everywhere.

Rolling isn't a mile stone some babies don't do it. Ds didn't do it until after he was crawling except a couple of times by accident. I was worried at the time but he's almost 5 now and no probs

My ds didn't roll over or giggle until 6.5/7 months. Once he'd rolled over he crawled and started pulling himself up onto furniture within a week and didn't sleep for another 4 months!! Be careful what you wish for! Not rolling at 5 months is no problem at all. DS went on to walk before he was one so "caught up" really quickly. Don't worry.

my dd was the same , she was lazy! As soon as she started rolling though she was off and ended up crawling pretty much straight away and was walking at 9 months, don't worry they all do it in their own time

DS1 rolled front to back once at 6mo but only once. He never rolled back to front. He crawled at 10mo and walked at 13.5mo. He was a real giggler from about 5mo.

DS2 is 6mo and has rolled a few times. I've never managed to get a giggle out of him. The only one who can, and that's not very often, is DS1 Smile
