To help your baby get ready to roll over
A baby who can see learns to roll over as she reaches for things. If your
baby cannot see, you may have to help her learn to roll over. As her
head, neck, and shoulders get strong, you will notice your baby holding
her head up and turning when she hears sounds. Now she can prepare
for rolling over.
When your baby is on her stomach, shake
a noisy toy above her head to encourage
her to lift her head up. When she grasps
the toy, move it behind her to help her
roll onto her back.
Hold on, Clara...
I’m pulling you
over.
Put your baby on her side with a cloth or
pillow behind her. Shake a noisy toy in
front of her. Then move the toy down to
the floor. She will then turn her head and
shoulders to follow it — and will roll onto
her stomach.
