3 month old desperate to roll over

Anyone have any advice on this as I don’t remember my son doing this? My daughter is 3 months and for the last few nights is constantly trying to roll on her front. I put her to bed on her back and she immediately rolls on her side where she’ll sleep for the first half of the night but by around midnight she’s rolled so far across the Next To Me cot that she’s pushed herself up to the side trying to roll on her front and wants to be moved. Cue this every 20-30 mins until morning.
I give her lots of time on her mat in the day to practice rolling over but even then I’m conscious that she may well be able to roll on to her front but she won’t be able to roll herself back over so won’t necessarily help with sleep. Anyone care to remind me when they can generally roll themselves back again? My son is only 2.5 but I’ve forgotten/blocked out most of the early months!

It's different for everyone, but my 4 children could roll both ways at around 4 months old.

Tummy time helps significantly

My almost five month old is just starting to roll back to front
Has been doing front to back for a while.
My first never really rolled over

@FATEdestiny I need to do more tummy time but she’s a very sicky baby so generally voms and/or squawks throughout.

Mine is also a sicky one
I stick a muslin under her 😅
Thankfully she seems to enjoy TT though

4 months for my first, she wouldn’t do tummy time, she’d just go straight to sleep when put on her front. My second loved tummy time, he was a bit sicky so we used to put him on a muslin, and he was rolling both ways at 10 weeks. They’re all different but neither of mine were happy in a small crib though because they were such wriggly sleepers and had to go in the big cot from being very young!
