Hi These are all very encouraging signs of healthy motor development. Yes, mild head wobbling is still considered normal at this stage. While your baby has gained head control, full neck strength and stability are still developing. It’s common for babies to show a bit of unsteadiness when they’re excited, tired, or changing positions. This should continue to improve over the next few weeks. Yes, it’s completely normal for a baby to roll one way first. Most babies roll from back to tummy around 4–6 months, and tummy to back may follow a little later. Some babies even skip one direction initially. Continue tummy time and offer plenty of floor play, which will naturally encourage more rolling both ways. Based on the skills you’ve described Your baby is likely ready for short periods of supported/assisted sitting.

Hello It’s great that your baby has good head control and is showing progress in gross motor milestones. At 5 months, some head wobbling is still normal, especially when the baby is tired. Rolling from back to tummy often happens before rolling tummy to back — so that’s not a concern either. He can be offered short periods of assisted sitting (with support at the hips or lower back) even if he hasn’t rolled tummy to back yet. This helps strengthen core muscles gradually. However, always ensure the baby is well-supported and never left unattended in a sitting position.

How is she able to support herself up on the arms while on tummy time? She should be able to prop up on extended arms - another sign of readiness to sit For readiness to introduce semisolids, the ability to swallow should also be there - tongue thrust to disappear such that the baby is not pushing out the food offered with the tongue, can swallow the food to the back
