Roll over and tummy time
My son is 5 months old. He does not want to roll over by himself; he does not like tummy time. However he tries to sit up. Other children of his age (that we know) have already started rolling over by themselves (either from back to front or front to back). We're a little worried. What should we do?

Good evening
There is no need to worry now ,like you said he's trying to sit up.Dont stress about this one if his other developmental milestones are as per the age.
You can wait for now.Get him examined at his 6 month visit if you are doubtful.
Take care.

Children usually start to roll over from the fifth month only. So do not worry
