My baby is 3 1/2 months old and I was wondering when baby's roll their body? At times she tries, I hardly put her flat because of her reflux. When does baby learn to sit up. I can't wait for my baby to sit up so that I don't have to hold her upright all the time because of her reflux.

ds could roll by 3 months and sit unsupported at 6. dd was later rolling but sat earlier. Anything up to 9 months is ok for either. Do you have a bouncy chair - was a godsend with dd's reflux and she often napped in it.

Yes I have a bouncer seat, your right it comes in handy. But I was told by others not to leave my baby in it for too long because they need to stretch their muscles, so I try to put on the floor with her head elevated using a pillow. It's tough having a baby with reflux. It's hard on the baby and the mothers. I can't take my baby out too many places.

I think that's nonsense tbh . dd's developemnt was not impeded by length opf time in her chair. I used to put the baby gym over it. She was walking at a year too. Do you have a sling or carrier so you cna move around with her , arms free ? Door bouncer was of use too when she could support herself well.

Oh sorry I was mistaken for a rocker. She has those rockers that you can put your baby in where they can sleep and play and you can rock them back and forth.

Dd sat unaided at 17 week.

Not sure when she rolled.

I meant like this but w/o the music bit ! Back goes very upright and can be fixed rather than rocking.

Don't get too hung up on what they do when chick, it all comes together eventually. My dd didn't roll completely till 5.5 months and then sat at 6 months. She is 8 months now n not crawling, she is an observer, very chilled but babbles n squarks all day. My ds was the first to do everything which I must admit I loved toshow him and his skills off but he was HARD work, very physical even now always climbing. Just enjoy your lo. X
