Will baby really be able to roll over at 3 months?

[newmum234]

My baby is now 2 months old. I read that babies can roll from their tummy onto their backs from 3 months, but honestly can’t fathom that my baby will be doing that in 4.5 weeks time. He shows no inclination to roll at all and developmentally seems nowhere near! Could your baby roll over from 3 months and is there anything I should be doing to help him on his way?

DD is six months old and just started rolling. I had a minor freak out that she was delayed but she's just chunky really 😂 I've heard they can do it earlier but I don't personally know any rolling babies at three months.

DD was rolling with purpose at 4 months, combined with a kind of break dancing style worm movement she could move quite fast. She shocked me and the cats by not being on the playmat where I'd left her one day.

She then pulled up to standing at 6 months, crawled properly at 6.5 months and was comfortably cruising furniture by 7 months. She took her first steps at 10.5 months and was running within a week.

My DS never rolled! At least, I’m sure if I made him do it now at 2 he could 🤣 I think he might have tried it once or twice and freaked himself out or something.

All other milestones were early/average. He sat totally unaided at 4.5 months, crawled at 8 months and took his first steps the week before his first birthday and was walking confidently within 2 weeks of that so 12 months.

Mine was delayed and couldn't roll until near enough 10 months! But they COULD roll at any point really, especially accidentally.
