As a first-time parent, the happiest thing for a parent is watching their baby grow up day by day. You don't want to miss every moment of your baby's growth. The baby opens his eyes to see the world, the baby rolls over, the baby walks, the baby mumbles and calls Mom and Dad. This is a touching growth process. Today, we will learn about a key moment of the baby's growth-the baby rolls over, when does the baby roll over, and how to train the baby to roll over? Let's find out!

Time for the baby to turn over

The so-called three turns, six sitting, eight crawls, the baby will turn over, indicating that he has begun to consciously explore his free world, so when will the baby turn over? In fact, the time for the baby to roll over varies from person to person, and the situation of the baby's roll over is also determined by many factors.

Babies of 4-7 months have already begun to try to roll over, but the specific time to achieve rollover varies from person to person. Some children turn over once before 3 months and never turn over again, and some children will jump over the roll or omit the roll and start sitting or standing directly. There are also children who suddenly learn to roll over after being able to stand up. Some babies hate rolling over because they are startled by the sudden rollover, or because it is difficult for an overweight child to roll over.

Therefore, parents do not need to be too nervous for their children to turn over late. As long as they actively train their baby's motor function and brain development, the baby will move his body consciously.
