Babies typically start rolling over between 4 and 7 months of age. Most infants begin rolling from tummy to back around 4 to 5 months, and then from back to tummy a few weeks later, usually by about 7 months. Some babies show signs as early as 3 months, but rolling over before 4 months is uncommon. Every baby develops at their own pace, so variations in the timing are normal.
Key developmental signs before rolling include stronger neck and arm muscles, more tummy time, and increased curiosity. Rolling over is an important motor milestone indicating growing muscle strength and coordination.
