Rolling over is when a baby turns from their tummy to their back, or their back to their tummy, on their own. The CDC lists rolling from tummy to back as a milestone by 6 months; many babies roll earlier.
Key takeaways
- Once a baby can roll, swaddling should stop.
- Always put your baby to sleep on their back; if they roll both ways on their own, they can stay in the position they choose.
- Never leave a baby alone on a raised surface.
What you can do
- Give daily tummy time and floor play.
- Place toys to one side to encourage turning.
