Just wondering what other parents experiences has been with tummy time and rolling? My son is 5months and isn’t showing any sign of rolling over. I give him plenty of floor time throughout the day and try to encourage getting onto his side by placing toys next to him. He doesn’t seem interested. He’ll play with his toys lying on his back or in his chair. He is starting to grab at his feet and has on a couple of occasions made attempts to try to push himself over but that was a couple of weeks ago and nothing since.
He also doesn’t like tummy time. I try putting him on my tummy, used a rolled up towel & then bought him a tummy time pillow. He tolerates less than 5 mins & during that 5 mins he wants to chew at his hands or face plant the ground in frustration. I’ve also tried lying opposite him to encourage him to look up but that doesn’t seem to work either. I’m not getting any visits from HV due to COVID, his next face to face is 8 months as they were happy with his progress at last visit. I’ve texted HV about this and she said it might not be until 6 months until signs of rolling but I just feel by now there would be more signs of him hitting this milestone.
Otherwise he is thriving, eats and sleeps well, is a lovely natured wee soul and always smiling. Teething is in full effect though which I feel might be the reason he likes a good chew at his fists during tummy time. I’m a first time Mum so I’m probably worrying too much!
Any advice or shared experience would be lovely
