don’t get offended it’s just a simple truth (most of the time, anyway) that first-time mom’s are a little more “over the top” shall we say, when it comes to over-analyzing their newborn’s every move than a mom who has 4 children.
but i did it.
i actually googled “6 month old not rolling over”
yes, i really did.
even though i know logically that he is capable of doing it. i have seen him go from belly to back once or twice. and my mama-sense wasn’t telling me anything was wrong. and i have 3 others who have met all of their milestones at completely different times. and he technically has about a week and a half left before he’s 6 months old. but i thought back to my first child and pondered that he was crawling by about 7 months and walking by 10 months. and after the pediatrician already moved the milestone to 6 months from 4 months since my last child was this age and he still wasn’t meeting it, i went looking for other mamas who had worried about their little ones. and i found what i knew i would find. what i would tell any first-time mama who asked me the same question. “he’s fine. be patient. every child is different. you can’t compare kids. he’ll do it.”
and today i found him in the playpen in a position i didn’t leave him in. on his belly.
