Greetings
At 5 months, a baby should consistently track moving objects, reach for items with both hands, and move their head smoothly in both directions. The preference for looking and rolling only to the right could indicate torticollis (a tightening of neck muscles) or potentially a vision issue that makes one side easier to see. Occasional tracking and limited reaching at this age are considered developmental red flags that require pediatrician evaluation.
