My son is 6 1/2 months old, but he still hasn't rolled onto his tummy from his back. He can roll onto his back from his tummy and has been able to since before he was 4 months. Should i be concerned?

NO every baby has a diffrent developmental skills MY suggestion is to get a blanket put on floor as im sure you do for tummy fime and encourage him with excitment toys treats.Lay him on tummy thn go to other side where you want him to roll talk call him name shake his favorite toy it will help greatly ONCE he realizes he can do it THERE wont be stoppin him. :)

No. My son is 6 months and I've only seen him roll once but he's reached all his other milestones so im not worried. If your babies reaching all other milestones i wouldn't be worried.

Not all children do the same things at the same time. He'll do it when he's ready. Put his favourite toy just out of reach and maybe that'll help.

No. Every baby is different, and it could be that he just doesn't care to be on his tummy to roll that way. My now 3-year old never really rolled onto his tummy. He just went from rolling from tummy to back, to sitting to crawling to walking (even though I know he could roll onto his tummy if he wanted to).
