Introduction
When a baby turns over at four months, it is an important milestone. The baby\’s physical development and movement coordination will be improved. However, mothers may be worried if their four-month-old baby does not turn over in time. Today, we\’ve asked experts to offer helpful advice to help moms take better care of their babies.
Timetable for baby to turn over
Most babies start rolling over within three months of birth. At four months, babies begin to have better head control and muscle strength, which is the ideal time to roll over. However, not every baby can turn over so regularly, and some babies may take longer, even until 6 months or more. If your baby doesn\’t turn over at any time, or the timing of turning is inaccurate, then parents should consider taking some steps to help their baby.
How to encourage your baby to turn over
Encouraging your baby to roll over requires letting them play on their tummy. This helps your baby develop muscle control in their back, neck and spine. When your baby starts to show signs of rolling over, they may need to change their position so that they can easily shift their weight to one side so they can roll over. Parents can place some toys on both sides of the baby to attract the baby to try to turn around and grab the toys, and stimulate the baby\’s desire to turn over. Plus, showing your baby how to roll over will help them learn this skill faster.
Find issues that may affect your turnaround
Certain problems may affect your baby\’s ability to roll over. For example, muscle weakness and poor brain development may affect your baby\’s motor development, while a malformed brain can affect your baby\’s mobility. If you think there may be something else wrong with your baby, talk to your doctor. In addition, clothes and beds that are not easily turned over may also become disturbing factors, so the impact of these factors on the baby should be minimized as much as possible.
Summary
While most babies turn over within four months, some may take longer. Parents can take steps to encourage babies to roll over and help them develop muscle control and balance. If other problems arise, you need to consult a doctor in time. In short, I believe that all mothers want to provide the best care for their babies and help them develop better during this important growth stage.
