Sean reaches one of his first milestones!

Tummy Time - We've been putting Sean on his tummy daily when he is alert & awake.  Minutes ago he rolled over for the first time from front to back!   Yipeeeee!!!!!  Way to go Sean!   Sean it now 2 months corrected (on December 3rd), so he's right on time for rolling over!

When Should My Baby Start Roling Over?

In order for your baby to roll over he needs to have a strong upper body, good control of his head and neck, and be able to coordinate his arm and leg movements well. Most babies learn to roll from front to back first because front to back rolling requires less strength and coordination. Your baby may learn to roll from front to back as early as age 2-3 months. Rolling from back to front is a more difficult milestone and your baby may be 5-6 months before he starts rolling from back to front.

Tummy time and rolling over

Because rolling over requires a lot of upper body strength, it is important that your baby gets daily "tummy time” to help him develop strong muscles and good control of his neck. Babies that don’t get a lot of tummy time may take longer to start rolling over. Try to place your baby on his tummy when he is awake and alert. This will help him with rolling over and other developmental milestones. Tummy time should be supervised until your baby can roll over in both directions.
