    She's still only 5 months the little cherub!
    If it makes you feel any better, my DD didn't say her first word until 7 months (dadadadada ), and now she just won't STOP!! hahaha, she is constantly chatting away, she has begun stringing words together (probably started that areound 13 months) such as "whats that", "hey, there he is", "no don't want to" (she is now 20 months, and she is the only one in mums group that has really taken off with her talking). So i definately wouldn't worry about the talking.

    Also my bestfriends little girl is 5 months and she hasn't rolled yet either, yet she is a healthy beautiful little girl, i really wouldn't say that there is anything at all wrong with her.

    I'm sure she will do things in her own time, we all do! Also RE: tummy time - i don't think many babies enjoy it! heehehe

    Goodluck! I hope this makes you feel a little better

    shes only 5 months old! DD wasnt saying anything at that stage either, now she wont shut up. A head tilt will fix itself and she will roll when she is good and ready. I wouldnt be worrying at all. Dont expect too much from her, she still so little.

    Oh hun don't worry what the MCHN's or anyone says..... even the books can be waaaaaay off in terms of what babies should be doing. EVERY baby is different.
    She will roll etc all in good time.... she's just focusing on her communication skills by the sounds of it loves smiling, chatting and giggling away.... my 5mth old baby girl is the same! She isn't very mobile yet.... she likes tummy time but not for very long.. she has rolled 5 times over the last 13wks but nothing consistent... but she's very strong so it's only a matter of time. It will happen all in good time.....

    Try not to listen to what others say. Trust your baby girl. If she's happy and healthy and enjoying herself, then the rest will follow..... one day she'll surprise you!
