How many months will the baby turn over? Generally, the baby will turn over in about three months, but there are two ways to turn over. One is to turn over from the back-up posture to the stomach (prone), and the other is to turn over from the stomach (prone) to the back-up. Children about 3 months old generally learn to turn from supine position to prone position first, and then turn from prone position to supine position every few weeks to months, that is, they continue to learn to roll. Therefore, it will not take three months to turn over.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (APP) summed up the signals that three babies are ready to turn over:

Looking up: When the baby begins to try to lift his arms, arch his back and straighten his chest, it shows that the baby's upper body strength is gradually increasing.

Prone: The baby will shake his body, kick his legs and "swim" with his arms, all of which are necessary for turning over and crawling.

Supine: When the baby is lying on his back, he will keep raising and lowering his legs, kick his legs and hit the bed, indicating that the strength of the child's lower limbs is gradually increasing.

Of course, every baby's situation is different, so even if the baby can't turn over for 3 months, parents should not worry and can guide the baby to try to turn over.

How to guide the baby to turn over?

Exercise your baby's arms on both sides.

When the baby is three months old, let the baby practice the posture of raising his head and swinging his arm to increase the strength of his arm.

Mother can put a bell or other brightly colored toys, and then let the baby lie on the bed and try to catch the toys with her hands. Toys can also be used to attract the baby's attention and let the baby look up and move his arms.

Guide the baby with sound.

You can let the baby lie in bed first, then call the baby's name, or shake the toy to attract the baby to turn over. If the baby has difficulty turning around by himself, parents can also help him by gently putting his right leg on his left leg to give him an auxiliary force. Generally, the baby can rotate with him half a week, so that he can contact him once in the morning and evening. Usually after 2 to 3 weeks, the baby can turn over by himself.

Guide the baby to complete the whole action.

When the baby learns to turn over, it may not be finished at first, and sometimes it will be very difficult. Mothers can guide their babies and deliberately throw toys away. After several trainings, in order to catch the toy, the baby can naturally turn over and lie down.

When guiding the baby, the mother had better be patient, after all, it is a trivial matter. In addition, it is necessary to wear suitable diapers or pull-up pants for the baby to facilitate the baby's big movements.

Pillow parenting information:

In short, after the baby learns to turn over, it subverts the vision when lying on his back and begins the process of fully understanding the world. The baby turns over early and late, but if the baby is six months old and can't turn over by himself, it needs the mother to find out the reason.
