Baby Rolling Over: What to Expect and Do

When your baby starts rolling over, it's a significant milestone! Here's what you need to know:

  • Increased Supervision: Rolling means your baby can move around more. Never leave your baby unattended on elevated surfaces like changing tables or beds, even for a second. They can roll off surprisingly quickly. Always keep a hand on them or be within arm's reach. See: Increased%20Supervision

  • Adjust the Sleep Environment: Once your baby can roll from back to tummy, you don't need to return them to their back if they roll over in their sleep. However, always place them on their back to sleep initially. Make sure the crib is free of soft objects like blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals to reduce the risk of SIDS. Ensure the mattress is firm and fits the crib snugly. See: Adjust%20the%20Sleep%20Environment

  • Tummy Time Continues: Even though your baby can roll, continue to encourage tummy time during waking hours. This strengthens neck and shoulder muscles, which are essential for further motor development. See: Tummy%20Time

  • Babyproofing is Crucial: Rolling is the first step towards crawling and eventually walking. Now is the time to thoroughly babyproof your home. Secure furniture to the walls, cover electrical outlets, and move hazardous materials out of reach. See: Babyproofing

  • Rolling in the Car Seat: If your baby is rolling in the car seat, it's usually due to discomfort or trying to get comfortable. Make sure the car seat is properly installed and adjusted for their size. Never add extra padding or accessories to the car seat unless they are specifically approved by the manufacturer.

  • Celebrate the Milestone: Rolling over is a big accomplishment! Encourage your baby with praise and positive reinforcement. Enjoy watching them explore their newfound mobility! See: Celebrate%20the%20Milestone
