Our son just learned to roll over but not on his own. I’ve done a couple of exercises every day and after a couple of days he just started to roll over by himself and without my help.
Actually, when your baby begins to move head forward when you wearing him or laying on back, it’s a good sign to start with such exercises. Our son is 5 months old and he seems to be ready for rolling over by himself. Here is a rolling over tutor which helped us a lot:
Lay your baby on his back on a blanket and sit behind his head, holding a noisy or squeaky toy. Hold the toy where your baby can see it. Slowly move it so he has to turn his head to follow it.
Praise your baby if he arches his back and starts to turn. If your baby turns with his shoulders, but his legs don't follow, gently push on his bottom to help him over. Save this game for later if your baby doesn’t try.
To help your baby feel what it’s like to roll over, lay him on one side of a small blanket. Gently raise the blanket to help him roll over. Reward him with big smiles and hugs.
We didn’t use a blanket, we just helped him by moving and pushing his leg and bottom a bit to the side. Now he can roll over but still can’t roll back. I hope this helps.
