When does a baby start walkingWhen do babies roll over? Age and how to help them
Every individual is different, and babies naturally develop at different rates.
But some research suggests that culture or geographic location may influence how babies roll over.
For example, an , from 2004, found that babies in Hong Kong or China roll from back to stomach first — the opposite direction as babies in the United States, who usually roll from stomach to back first.

Some other factors that might affect when a baby rolls over include:
- Motor development: Rolling is a measure of motor skills, so babies who develop motor skills more slowly, for any reason, may roll over later.
- Practice and support: While rolling over is a developmental milestone, it is also a skill that demands practice. Babies may roll over earlier if they are encouraged to spend time playing on the floor, if they generally have an incentive to move, and if they have help practicing.
- Prematurity: Babies born prematurely tend to develop more slowly early in life, but they usually catch up.
