Hello, on the 26th my baby girl turned 7 months. And before that I have been noticing that shebl is not babbling since then. She blew raspberry most of the day but no consonants like bababa, dadada or mamama. She would just smile whenever we talk to her and ahe doea have a very good eye contact. Also, my baby isn't rollong back to belly. She has done it only like twice and looks its just by accident or unintentionally. When I put her on tummy time position she will be able to roll from belly to back a few times. She stay sitted unassisted when I put her in sitting position. For a good amount of time then fall off. This gets me so worried. Help please, anyone have the same worries before but later on baby started to babble and roll?

Please don’t worry about your baby, all babies do things at their own pace so as hard as it is, try not compare to others.
My baby made a few noises but didn’t start babbling until she was 8 months. She’s now one and babbles non stop.
Is your baby quite big? If so thag can make it harder for them to roll over as they need to be quite strong. It’s good she can roll from belly to back, once they do it a couple of times they either then start doing it constantly or they stop for a while almost as if they’ve ticked it off the list so don’t need to do it again.
You can help encourage rolling by rolling her onto her side and guiding her or by playing with toys and moving them around, encouraging her to turn to get them.
Sitting is another big thing, she’s developing her core strength so will take time to learn to sit on her own. It’s good that she can do it but she’s still young and will fall over, all completely normal. Do you give her toys to play with whilst she is sitting as this will help keep her mind focussed and she will probably sit for a long time before realising and falling over.
