Question
My child is already seven months old, but has not yet learned to roll over. Is this normal? What should I do if my child can’t roll over?
Answer
Hello: Rolling over is typically not an early milestone in a child’s development. It’s normal for a six-month-old to learn to sit first, and not rolling over by seven months is perfectly fine. Each child grows at their own pace, and they may vary in their development of various skills. Your child might excel in other areas. Additionally, it’s advised to avoid or minimize the use of walkers. Before the invention of walkers, children learned to walk on their own, and using these aids may affect the natural development of a child’s potential.
