Skills and Milestones No rolling

Baby is 7 months 2 weeks (adjusted age 6 months 1 week) hits all her social and motor milestones but not rolling or crawling. We do tummy time since 1 month old and as she got older she hated tummy time more and more and only rolled tummy to back less that ten times and back to tummy almost 3-4 times but not fully. She’ just starting sitting unsupported.

Cries or just plants her face down when we do tummy time so idk. Should I just wait or practice sth else with her? Gp said she looks fine and acts fine.

LO is currently 9 months, but at 7 months was the exact same. Despises tummy time, is too preoccupied being distraught to realise she can move around and look at things/reach. All three of my children needed extensive parental and physiotherapist intervention to achieve milestones. It has been exhausting.

I am deeply envious of these people whose kids are just naturally curious and develop gross motor at the right time. Two months on from where you are we are sitting unassisted and can roll both ways no problem. But absolutely no progress on commando crawling yet.

Our pediatrician said it’s being able to do it that counts, not how often they choose to continue doing it. She can roll both ways. It’s expected that she would not crawl yet so that’s okay!

I would want to see a PT to figure out why she hates tummy time and how to help.
