Question
My baby is already three months old, but they don’t seem to know how to roll over. Do I need to take them to the hospital for treatment?
Answer
At 5 months old, if a baby can’t roll over, it may not be pathological; it might be physiological and normal. How to evaluate? It’s best to use the whole-body spontaneous movement evaluation method, which includes the following aspects: first, carefully measure the baby’s physical and motor development, including head circumference, height, weight, chest circumference, abdominal circumference, and subcutaneous fat. Second, carefully measure the child’s muscle tone, including the tension of other muscles, swing, and joint extension. Joint mobility and muscle strength should also be assessed. Under the guidance of a professional doctor, a free and non-voluntary assessment is conducted. If everything is normal, there should be no problem.
