How to train your baby to roll over

Children can be said to be the center of a family. Especially now, in this era when most people are only children, children can be said to carry the hopes and happiness of too many people. A new mother will be confused and overwhelmed after the birth of her child. Of course, new mothers now pay more attention to their children and know when to supplement their children with what nutrients or what state the child should reach at what stage. For example, most children can roll over on their own when they are 3 months old. Of course, on weekdays, mothers can also practice their children turning over.

Although turning over is just a quick action, before that, most babies will send out various signals that they want to turn over when practicing turning over. If mothers can see the signals that their baby wants to turn over at this time, they may be able to help the baby and make it easier for him to master the key points of turning over.

* Signal 1: When the child is lying on his stomach, he can consciously and freely lift his head, and can lift it up from his head to his chest. This shows that his neck and back muscles are already very strong. At this time, if you hold the toy higher than the baby's line of sight, the baby will also be able to raise his head accordingly. At this time, the mother can hold the baby’s favorite toy and ask him to look up. Some children may also like lying on their stomachs if the mother also crawls down to play with the baby. Don't let your child hate lying on his stomach, which means he is not far from turning over.

* Signal 2: The baby's feet are raised when lying on his back, or he always lifts his feet and shakes them. At first, the baby cannot turn his waist very well, so he just shakes his feet back and forth to try to turn over. At this time, the mother can help push his buttocks and give him some strength so that the baby can experience the process and fun of turning over. If your baby gets anxious or cries because his arm is stuck under his body and he cannot pull it out after turning over, you can help him take his hand out, and then slowly train him to pull his arm out by himself.

* Signal three: If the baby always lies on his side in a direction that he is interested in. At this time, the baby may have the awareness of turning over, but has not yet mastered the basic skills of turning over, or it is not easy for him to turn over in this direction. At this time, the mother can gently hold the baby's arm, pull him sideways, and teach him to turn his waist and buttocks; she can also try to call him in another direction, tease him with toys, and let him find a direction in which he can turn around most easily.

However, some children still cannot roll over after 3 months, but some children can roll over very well after 3 months. The time it takes for a child to roll over is not only determined by individual physical differences, but also by the mother's factors. Of course, there are other questions about turning over that may cause anxiety and uneasiness to mothers, but mothers should learn more about it, as long as the child is normal and healthy.
