My baby is 6 months old and can sit up with support, but not on his own. He has rolled from front to back about five times ever (more by accident than design) but has never rolled from back to front. He can roll onto his side in both directions.
When doing tummy time he will hold his head up high and can push his upper body upwards using his arms. He also moves his legs as if trying to crawl but doesn’t actually go anywhere. After about 2-3 minutes he will start crying as he doesn’t enjoy being on his front.
When held under his armpits in the standing position he can bear weight on his legs for a couple of seconds before giving up.
He’s babbling and making lots of different sounds and spends ages grabbing and exploring toys in his baby gym.
Anyways, as an anxious first time mum I just wondered if this is all normal or if he’s a bit behind in his development? Also, how much time should I spend doing tummy time and other exercises to help him develop all these skills?
Basically I’m worried that I’m leaving him to play on his back too much, which he’s very happy doing, but it’s not helping him to progress and develop new skills.
Thanks.
