    Thank you! My 6.5 month old cannot roll in any direction and cannot grasp his feet from supine, but can maintain an independent sit if placed there, can bend forward to touch toes and to the side to grab toys to either side with relative precision. He seems unable (or uninterested) to initiate the roll process. At this point he can push himself up onto his hands easily and can grab a toy with either hand by lowering his chest back down and reaching for it. He can turn like a clock to edge his way to a toy, and while seated he can track and follow over 180 degrees but when prone doesn't have much swivel. I feel like I am guilty of too little tummy time, but I am so motivated to help him roll by 7 months. This is a great video and I will be checking out your others ahead of our early intervention visit. If you have other tips, I am literally all ears.

      Hi! Thanks so much for the comment and I got tons of info from it which is awesome! The best resource for you will be my book on rolling even though your little is doing amazing at sitting!! 📚 Tummy Time & Learning to Roll - amzn.to/3u2NKqk (affiliate)
      The biggest thing that is standing out to me is that rotation is likely his biggest block. I go over this in the book but because I simply cannot help myself heres a few tid bits!
      Babies (& all humans) need to be able to move in three planes: forward/backward (sagittal), side to side like im a little teapot (coronal/frontal), and rotational (transverse).
      It seems like your little is doing great with front and back /sagittal (sitting / reaching forward) and coronal/side to side (pivoting on belly and reaching toys to side) but is not able to/doesnt tolerate/doesnt have the available range to complete the rotational/transverse motions (rolling in all four directions).
      It also seems like there could possibly be some pelvic tilt limitations either due to mobility or lower core strength (need to round back to grab toes if we cant round back because its uncomfortable due to tightness we wont grab toes or if its too hard to lift our toes toward our hands due to weakness because gravity is always slamming babies limbs to the ground).
      If you happen to be in a country that doesnt have my book on amazon please email me info@drlaurenbaker.com so I can share a resource but truly the book will go through ALL THE THINGS because I wrote my entire brain on those pages 😂.
      Please let me know if you have questions. This exercise is also great and is in the book so yay for already being ahead of the curve!
      The other thing I will say is MASTER ROLLING NOW PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE.
      Because if a baby skips rolling they are at a HUGE RISK to skip crawling which is THE MOST important milestone for hand writing and reading. And we need rotation to get in/out of all fours.
      I would 10000000% rather parents get proactive physical therapy for their children who are struggling with rolling than wait until crawling is a problem because its sooo much harder to treat (doable but harder for every person involved including the baby).
      Please let me know if you have more questions!!

      Hi Odianne, Thank you so much for the comment. I apologize that I am delayed in responding to this comment. I hope that rolling is going well by now, especially since your little is roughly 9.5 months at this point. If they're still struggling with rolling I would recommend seeing a Pediatric Physical Therapist/Physiotherapist in your area. At 9 months now, we would want them to be stable in sitting on their own, getting from their back into sitting on their own, and rolling in all four directions without difficulty. If any of these are still a concern, they could impact crawling on hands/knees (9-11 months).
      Here are the two checklists that might be most relevant to you:
      Sitting Checklist - drlaurenbaker.com/blog/learning-to-sit-checklist
      Crawling Checklist - drlaurenbaker.com/blog/learning-to-crawl-checklist
      and please know if you have any additional questions, you can schedule a 1:1 online parent consultation, all consultations are 60 minutes via video on a secure platform and can be scheduled here at anytime: drlaurenbaker.clientsecure.me/request/service
      I hope this is helpful, I know that difficulty with milestones can be so frustrating with families, and rolling/hands and knees crawling are so closely intertwined that I would definitely recommend figuring out rolling if it is still a struggle and not skipping it. Hopefully though it isn't a concern anymore! Lauren

    My baby will be 3 months soon and she’s rolling from her back to her belly when placed on a flat surface

    • @DrLaurenBaker
      @DrLaurenBaker  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi Muna! Thanks for your comment. Three months is a bit on the early side but is not a concern unless a baby is utilizing tightness and tension to roll instead of their muscle strength and flexibility. Most babies start rolling 4-6 months but some babies can roll 3-6 months (typically belly to back but could also see back to belly). I would go through the rolling checklist to see if your baby has everything they need for mastering rolling just in case tightness is contributing (not as a worry but more like an experiment for optimal development if that makes sense!). Here is the checklist (it includes both back to belly and belly to back): Rolling Checklist - drlaurenbaker.com/blog/learning-to-roll-checklist
      If you have additional questions, you can schedule a 1:1 online video parent consultation here at anytime: drlaurenbaker.clientsecure.me/request/service
      I hope this helps! Lauren

    Hello, thank you so much for the insightful video. Any tips when it comes to back to tummy and specifically when the baby does not want to lift opposite arm to roll. He is rolling to the left but right arm is (quite intentional) pinned to the floor) 😅 This happens in both directions.

    • @DrLaurenBaker
      @DrLaurenBaker  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Lina! Thanks so much for the comment, and yes I totally have thoughts on this :) the absolute best resource for you will be my book: 📚 Tummy Time & Learning to Roll - amzn.to/3u2NKqk (affiliate) which is available in paperback and kindle. It will go through exactly why this can be a trouble spot for littles in the biomechanics back to belly chapter (it breaks it down in sections of the body so you are going to want to look at both the upper trunk and arm sections!). The exercises in the arm section at the back of the book will be super helpful too.
      Usually its because two things: difficulty with rotation the upper trunk toward that side (the baby may have tightness in their trunk which is limiting them from reaching across their body to roll to that side) AND/OR they are struggling with coordinating their arm across their body (what therapists call crossing midline). Usually its a both and scenario - tightness and crossing midline is hard to coordinate and learn, so I always recommend working on both.
      With the book, it should be a fairly quick solution (usually 2-6 weeks by picking 2-3 exercises and working on them for a total of 20 min per day). That is where I would start. If baby is over 6 months and either doesnt get results within a few weeks or is 7+ months and still not rolling in all four directions I definitely recommend reaching out to a local pediatric PT to make it the most individualized. If for some reason the book is not available in your country please email me info@drlaurenbaker.com so I can share a resource but the book truly is by far going to have my entire brain in paper form + a free video course

      @@DrLaurenBaker It has been 2 weeks since I purchased the book and have been exercising everyday with my baby and I must say it has been AMAZING! Week 1 he rolled tummy to back and week 2 he rolled back to tummy. He has a side that is easier for him, but know I know and will be working on the "non-prefered" side and I am sure that in a week all will be symmetrical. Thank you so so so much for your reply to my comment and all the knowledge in you book!

      Hi Muna! Thank you for the comment. At seven months a baby’s gross motor goals would be to roll belly to back and back to belly (if they are not yet able to do that I would start here) - if they’re able to roll both ways, then practicing sitting is next.
      This exercise is great but my recommendation would be to watch through both the learning to roll and learning to sit playlists and try 2-3 exercises a day to make sure the babe can do all the areas and work on the ones that seem difficult but tolerable.
      If you have concerns and have access if a baby is not sitting by themselves by 9 months a PT evaluation is recommended, but if you have concerns its always okay to reach out to one in your area sooner.

    What do you do if the baby isn't really reaching for the toys yet at 6 months old what are exercises to do for the to be able to reach with their arms more

    • @DrLaurenBaker
      @DrLaurenBaker  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi June! Thanks for the comment. If a baby isn't reaching for toys yet, I would want to make sure that they are able to put their weight through their elbows in tummy time up to 10-15 minutes at a time. At 6 months, I would also work on weight bearing through their arms in supported sitting if the babe has good head control such as here: th-cam.com/video/kd-ZUaUrhvA/w-d-xo.html
      Weight bearing through the arms either via an extended hand or elbow increases the strength of the shoulder and arm muscles which can allow for increased movement of the arms when they are reaching for toys. If a child is struggling with reaching toward a toy, I want to make sure the toy is visually engaging or orally engaging (the baby likes to put it in their mouth). I typically then will use tactile cues such as bringing the toy to their hands/arms or mouth to increase their attention to it. I'll keep the toy within 1-2 inches of their arm and guide their elbow with a hand under hand method to increase likelihood of performance.
      Here are a few videos that might explain a little bit more of these specific techniques:
      Hand under hand: th-cam.com/video/cflqinn1eCE/w-d-xo.html
      Oral engagement (this video talks about increasing head control but it could be used to increase reaching engagement too): th-cam.com/video/efoHgFe1tQY/w-d-xo.html
      Hopefully this is helpful. I'm more than happy to go over this via demonstrations in an online consultation which you can book at any time here: drlaurenbaker.clientsecure.me/request/service

      Hi Babu, for babies that have low tone (floppy) all exercises that are appropriate for that milestone will still work but may have to be modified. If a baby is working on head control I really like this exercise: th-cam.com/video/PGz60Z93f8w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=U-F6PtSTMCyJO8Ve
      If baby is working on rolling, my book Tummy Time and Learning to Roll may be the best resource for you: drlaurenbaker.com/tummy-time-and-learning-to-roll-book
      I also really like the fearfully and wonderfully made onesies to assist in adding compression to the abdomen: fearfullynwonderfully.com/collections/all
      all of these options can assist babies 0-6 months. If your baby is working on a different milestone please let me know! Lauren

    How many times a baby take to learn to roll

    • @DrLaurenBaker
      @DrLaurenBaker  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Atiqa! It really depends on the baby. Often times it takes 1-3 months of a baby practicing rolling and the different pieces of rolling to master the technique on their own which is why rolling age range is often 4-7 months. If a baby is over 7-8 months and not yet rolling there is often a weakness or tightness influencing their movements or making it tough for them to fully master it.

My book 📚 Tummy Time & Learning to Roll - amzn.to/3u2NKqk (affiliate) is the best comprehensive resource for rolling and can answer all the questions on when a baby should roll and what are the building blocks to master in order to be able to roll in all directions.

      Hi KeeKeeNice! Thanks for the comment. I totally agree, babes are such wiggle worms and sometimes can BECOME gymnasts to get out of doing things that are a bit on the harder side. Truthfully, this movement position is super great for humans on all ages and we could all use more focus on upper trunk mobility. If your babe gives you a hard time or is struggling, sometimes they might need to see you lying on the floor and “playing” like that too :) also it feels phenomenal 😍
