What are the signs that a baby will roll over soon?
As a general guide:
- Babies can roll from tummy to back during playtime first,
- Followed by rolling from back to tummy during playtime,
- And soon after, they may roll from back to tummy during sleep.
However, this may not be the case with all babies! Every baby is unique, and the timing can vary.
Some babies start rolling as early as 3 months, while others may start closer to 6 months. This is totally normal!
Additionally, the beginning stages of learning to roll might look different for each baby. Here are some common early signs of rolling:
- Throwing both arms over to one side
- Arching their back
- Swaying hips from side to side
- Voluntarily lying on their side while awake
These are all intentional, non-reflexive attempts by your baby to turn!
Once your baby starts rolling, we recommend graduating to the 2-IN-1 Swaddle Transition Bag, which simplifies the transition out of swaddling and offers an alternative for babies who may not enjoy swaddling. Safe for rolling babies – it allows them to push up and roll, depending on their individual development.
