When will your baby roll over

Some babies can flip themselves from their front to their back as early as three months. By the time your baby is six months old, her neck and arm muscles may have developed enough to allow her to roll over in both directions.Be warned that your baby will learn to roll over without giving you notice! You will need to be careful if you change her nappy on a raised surface. Certainly keep a hand on your little wriggler to stop her rolling over (and off the changing table).

Once your baby gets to three months you may want to start changing her nappy on the floor.For most babies, rolling is a big step on the road to walking. Many of the muscles babies use for rolling over are also used for sitting up independently and crawling. It is also your baby's first experience of being able to move about by herself.Although some babies skip the rolling stage, others enjoy it so much they prefer it to crawling as their main method of getting around.Bear in mind that babies develop differently, some more quickly than others. If you're concerned about your baby's development, talk to your GP or health visitor.
