when do babies roll from back to belly

Before months
Babies are typically ready to roll over (from their tummy to their back or vice versa) at about 3 months old. But there’s no need for your baby-raising panic button just yet—this development comes before your child is capable of pulling herself up. Some babies are born with a strong core and may be able to roll sooner, while others might take a little longer.
The most important thing is that your baby feels comfortable trying to turn in either direction. Most of us have an instinctive sense when something feels right, says Julie Friedman Silverman, M.D., a pediatrician in New York City and co-author of The Baby Book. It also helps if you lay down with your baby on her back for five minutes every day so she can get used to her position—and feel comfortable enough to practice rolling over on her own later on.
