The child does not turn over in 4 months

Each attentive and caring young mother is looking forward to the moment when her newborn child learns new skills for herself. In addition, many parents constantly communicate with each other and are very worried if their son or daughter does not know how to do certain things with which peers of a crumb are already successfully coping.

So, many babies at the age of 4 months are turned from back to side and stomach. This skill often arises from them all at once. Often the kid turns completely unexpectedly, trying to get a toy that interested him. A bit later, the little one understands how he does it, and begins to do it consciously.

Meanwhile, there are cases when a child does not turn over on the side and stomach in 4 months. This should not become an excuse for panic, because all babies are individual and develop differently. The inability to roll over turns out to be just a signal to him that he needs a little help, performing daily with him simple gymnastic exercises.
