Hi all, FTM here, my 18 week old isn't rolling, should I be worried?

I wouldn't be worried but speak to your health visitor if concerned though.

I think DD's red book had rolling on the 6 month check list, so that's quite a lot of time for your wee one yet. If they seem to be getting stronger in other ways, better head control, starting to lift up a bit during tummy time, etc., I wouldn't worry about not rolling just yet.

Oh no not at all! Very early to worry about rolling or not. I think it's a 6 month milestone 🙂

My baby has just started to roll back to front at eight months. She hasn't gone front to back yet :)

I wouldn't expect a 18 week old to roll

No. My DS didn’t roll until he crawled at 8 months. Some babies just skip the rolling phase.

Thanks all!! Made me feel much better.
