Is my baby the only one not rolling over? He rolls to his side and has gotten pretty close, but can't make it over yet. He just turned 4 months yesterday.
I only ask because someone on FB has a baby who just turned 3 months and claims he "mastered" rolling today. I know I shouldn't compare, but I can't decide if they're exaggerating, if their baby is way advanced, or if mine is apparently a month behind.
junebugjam, my LO is doing the same as yours (rolling to the side) and he turned 4 months on the 11th. His doctor wasn't concerned when I brought it up at his appointment yesterday.
junebugjam My DD JUST rolled over for the first time last night, and she also turned 4 months on the 11th. Definitely don't worry, your LO is perfectly normal!

3.5ish months here and no rolling either direction. First thing in the AM he rolls from his back to his side to his back to his side (toward the unswaddled arm. We're one-arm-out Swaddlers these days) and talks to himself for about 30 minutes before he complains that he's hungry. No rolling after naps or when playing on his back on the floor. No rolling tummy to back. Sometimes he'll shift his weight to one side and pick up the other arm/leg but nothing close to a roll. He really likes tummy time, tho, so by the time he's frustrated enough to want to be on his back, he's way too tired to roll. Maybe I should practice tummy to back rolling? Is that a thing? I usually just let him do his thing for tummy time, or read books to him so he can look at the pictures.
junebugjam close to rolling over but she gets caught on her shoulder. She HATES tummy time so she hasn't even had an opportunity to roll from tummy to back. She is almost 4.5 months
Has anyone started thinking about fourth of july? Are you doing fireworks with the LO? What do you do about the noise? I'm thinking about a sitter anyway just so we can have some drinks. Is that best? Does it make me a bad mom to even consider bringing my 5 month to fireworks at 9pm?

I love fireworks but I'm lucky if my LO stays up past 7 pm. No chance am I bringing a miserable baby to fireworks lol. Maybe next year.
junebugjam DS did not start rolling until last week. He still only rolls a couple times a day if he is lucky. He is 5 months old on Sunday. Doctor didn't care at his 4 month checkup.
mmarie I think we are going to buy the ear protectors for DS if we are near fireworks and he is still awake. . Still working on our plans.
misshart00 hope LO is doing better today. I may have missed an update in spam, I had to read through quickly.
DS has started to chew on his hands more frequently in the past week. I finally found a teether that he finally likes. The infant banana toothbrush works like a charm. Thank goodness!

I'm hiding from my kids. DD is in her crib, hopefully sleeping. And I can here DS talking/fussing in the swing. I'm sitting on my bed. I don't want to deal with either of them today. I've lost my temper on DD more than i care to admit.
Re: fireworks. We live about 300 yards from our city's rec. center, where they shoot off the fireworks every year. It always stresses out the dog, who will be incessantly barking. Also, they'll start shooting them off at 10:30. Thanks, guys.

We usually go to my dad's house for fireworks. My H used to have his pyro license (from working for the circus) so 4tg of July is a big deal. But it doesn't look like that's going to happen this year...
taberbtb Noooooooooooooo! I feel like you need a trip to the grocery to stock up on emergency supplies for tonight- wine and a ton of ice cream should do the trick
DH and I never do anything for the 4th of July because we're boring homebodies. Maybe when DD is older we'll get some fireworks or go to my parents' or something. But we HATE crowds, so it's unlikely we'll ever go downtown for the city's show.

LO just started rolling to one side the other day. She does roll from belly to back. She's 4 months old.
I think the person on FB is likely exaggerating a bit. It's quite possible their baby has rolled but infants don't tend to "master" rolling until 5-6 months. (Obviously there is a wide range of variation on an individual level though, and probably also in what one considers "mastering" rolling).
WittyLittle oh no! We unfortunately all have those moments.
Towards the end of my pregnancy, I thought I was going to yell at someone. Now with the sleep deprived nights, I really have to control myself.
Good to know im not alone. To be fair he kinda had it coming. I did a double teaching load before maternity leave so i wouldnt have to teach after i came back but he scheduled me to teach saying these hours are allocated by calendar year r/t academic year... Ive never yelled at someone in the 5 1/2 years ive been there so everyone was scared of me the rest of the day. Still feel crappy though

Oh no! My dogs also hate fireworks. We live in the middle of nowhere and one of our neighbors do fireworks just kind of randomly once in awhile. Both dogs just hide in my closet the whole time.

Tl;dr your baby is normal
This exactly. Even newborns can roll but the possibility of "mastering" it that young is unlikely. DD rolled once when she was 12 weeks old but I don't count it because she was laying on in the middle of our bed and just rolled into one of the dips in our mattress.
LO started rolling last week but started tummy sleeping 2 nights ago. However she hasn't quite gotten the hang of it...I just had to go in and check on her and she was face planted into the matress. Her nose was flattened so she could breathe a little out the side but not enough for my liking. So far she has only rolled one direction and faces one direction when she does sleep on her tummy.
Any other tummy sleepers out there doing this face planting? Facing only one direction?

mishka29 yep weve got a face planter. He also forgets how to roll both ways in the MOTN and wakes up screaming because he gets stuck up against the crib. Good sleep has been rare lately
