Brief Answer:
Usually not rolling of the baby is not a matter of concern.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern.

The baby may flip from back to front at six months because she needs a stronger neck and arm muscles for that maneuver.

Some babies may actually pull up before crawling at nine months old.

There is nothing to be worried about.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
