Dallas Rolling Over Issues My 6-month-old recently learned to flip. Very exciting! For some reason, though, she can't flip back and cries until I turn her back over.

	I think it's common for babies to learn to roll one way before the other. You could try helping her roll the other way, showing her how to move her body, and showing it that's ok to be on her tummy or back. She'll figure out the other way soon enough. Flag

	She's probably just startling herself not realizing it's a good thing. Have you cheered for her when she's done it to show her that it's good to roll over? As for going from back to tummy, I think it's harder because they have to figure out how to get their arm out from under their body. Mine rolled onto her side many times before getting all the way as she got used to rolling onto her arm. Flag
