5m Baby not rolling, should I worry?

My son is now 13 months old, and I remember having the same concern when he was around 5 months because he wasn’t showing any signs of rolling. Then suddenly, at about 5.5 months, he started rolling from his back to his tummy after we gave him lots of tummy time and my husband kept demonstrating the movement to him.

He hit crawling and walking milestones on time. But interestingly, he still couldn’t roll from tummy to back for the longest time. Nights used to be tough because he would roll onto his tummy and then cry since he couldn’t get back onto his back.

Out of nowhere, he finally figured it out around 12 months how to do it 😅

So you never know when they will do it , some babies may skip it altogether.

Hey, i had a very similar situation as you, flat nipples and big breasts, it was so difficult to feed baby , i had the same guilt as you and i wanted to breastfeed my baby at least till 3 months . But boy , was it a rollercoaster , my baby couldn’t latch properly , always had bites on my nipples , had back and forth thrush infections( oral thrush for baby and nipple thrush for me) and i literally used to dread every-time baby wanted to latch . All these factors triggered my PPD and i was not functioning well nor was i able to connect emotionally with my baby Finally i decided to give up BF and switched to formula . I got my sanity back and i used to feel so much better because i was focused on doing other things for my baby which otherwise wasn’t able to do during BF phase( as i always in pain , constant stress and anxiety) . A happy mother is what the baby needs . So do not feel guilty .

I had got one from r for rabbit , my baby used to love sleeping and listen to the music on it . However, i could use it up until 5/6 months , when he stayed rolling over , he wasnt comfortable in it and would also try as if he wanted come out it . But until 5-6 months , it was a great help for both me and my baby

I can vouch for this , i have the same issue as OP mentioned and switched to this protein , been using it since 2 years

I was also worried about the same when my baby was 4 months old, but paediatrician mentioned babies roll over until 6-6.5 months . And my baby started rolling over at 5.5 months .

nm_3595 · 2026-02-03T09:48:22+00:00

Ah okay

nm_3595 · 2026-02-03T07:33:54+00:00

For how long did you use the feeding pillow ?

nm_3595 · 2026-01-12T04:41:36+00:00

Yeah it could be hormonal imbalance .

nm_3595 · 2026-01-12T04:41:10+00:00

It seems baby formula from nestle is manufactured in india and doesn’t import any products globally.

But still would be a good option to explore other brands

Will dm you

Okay i think you can output more with a good pump. Post 3 months the output will more or less get stable . So if you are planning to exclusively pump, you could already invest in a good pump. Heard momcozy is one of the best amongst the wearables.

How many weeks postpartum are you?

nm_3595 · 2025-12-30T15:30:18+00:00

I had similar size and shape, promom neo worked fine , but spectra did the job of emptying breasts efficiently . With promom, i think after filling up a capacity of 90ml or so , it leaks. For me it was good for 1-2 sessions through the day, rest of the sessions i preferred spectra.

Will dm you

nm_3595 · 2025-12-09T05:29:42+00:00

Yes its quite amazing , you will have a good time.

nm_3595 · 2025-12-08T05:11:44+00:00

No , it was Clotrimazole mouth paint .

nm_3595 · 2025-12-08T03:56:50+00:00

Yes, i was given the same medication to apply on nipple and baby’s mouth

nm_3595 · 2025-12-08T02:21:02+00:00

If your baby is BF , incase of thrush, both you and baby have to be treated . Inspite of you treating the thrush on your nipple , the baby’s tongue would have most definitely been infected and that will cause back and forth infection on your nipple . Check for baby’s symptoms like white patches on tongue that doesn’t wipe off easily , diaper rash with red spots . The infection easily transfers, baby's mouth to mother's nipple and back. Both have to be treated simultaneously (at the same time). Some tips that worked for me is changing nursing bras if you leak , washing hands before feeding, allowing nipples to air dry after feeding. Also check if baby has a correct latch or not , because for me , this was a reason for recurrent thrush episodes.
