    Sitting before rolling?

    Jazz won't roll. We *think* she can roll, well she rolls to me for booby at night but that may or may not be because my butt makes the bed sink so she just falls into the dip LOL

    Anyway, she's never rolled anywhere else but at night to get to booby (which, like I said, may not even count!).

    Which I'm not *really* concerned about.

    But she's now sitting. As in, if I plonk her on the floor she'll sit for at least a minute, arms in the arm so its her stomach muscles holding her body up and generally steadying herself until she she tired and then falls sideways, giggles, and looks as though shes trying to say "lets do that again". Which she will LOL!

    Should I be worried that shes not rolling yet? She does other stuff on her tummy, spin in circles and try and put her knees under her hips, but the stubborn little princess won't even roll from tummy to back!!!!!

    Leasha, My DS only started rolling this week! He did roll once, but I wasn't home when it happened, think it was about a month ago? He will only roll from tummy to back though. I put it down to him being stubborn lol.

    Are you sure Jazz & Juliette aren't sisters She seems to be doing the exact same things as Juliette at the same times!!! Juliette only started roling properly maybe a month ago & then it was like she had been doing it forever, over & over she'd go!!! Dont stress dude, she's fine

    Yeah, don't stress. They all do things their own way.

    Lol about the accidental-maybe-on-purpose boobie rolling

    LOL, maybe she just rolls when there is good incentive!

    Grace has rolled from back on to tummy for a while, cant roll back though, and has started siting in the last few days, same way Jazz has been!! Guess its not something she is that bothered about learning just yet!!
    im sure one day they will learn to roll back over and there will be no stopping them rolling all over the house!!

    My bub was sitting unassisted by 5 months but didn't roll until he just turned 6 months!!! I think he will be walking before crawling properly too!!! Your bubs will roll!

    Leash Beth was the same.... has been sitting since 3.5 months but really only started rolling a couple of days ago.... and I think she worked it out by falling on her face from a sitting position and then rolling over. I just put her on her tummy the other day and she rolled over like a pro! LOL I thought she'd given up on rolling completely. So totally normal I think!
