6 month old not rolling?

Hi. My little girl has just turned 6 months she was born on the 27th June.
She was born full term, 8lbs 5, exclusively breastfed until very recently starting weaning and so far there seems to be no complications with her, however she’s not rolling. She can get onto her side but makes no attempts to push that bit further and get on her tummy.
Her head control is good and she can sit assisted pretty well but my first did this so much earlier … at what point is this a concern or am I over thinking this?

If you have a look at the 6 month Ages & Stages can they do everything else in the Gross Motor Skills section?

Obviously I don’t know how your little one is doing with other skills so can’t tell you if it’s a problem for her. But, my oldest son didn’t roll until he was over a year old and is entirely healthy. He was just more interested in sitting or standing so didn’t tolerate tummy time. He also never crawled and walked pretty early.
Just to reassure you that not rolling yet doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem. She just might be developing in her own way
