Does anyone have any tips for getting baby to roll belly to back?
Our little boy is confidently rolling back to belly now but can’t roll back so gets frustrated. His tummy time has obviously increased now because he is putting himself there and we’ve tried to roll him back to show him rather than picking him up. But it is really affecting his sleep because he is rolling onto his tummy in his sleep and then getting stuck.

We're in the same boat and have been for over a month now😩 hes mastered sitting unassisted and he army crawls but still cant flip himself back over! It's frustrating but they will get there when the time is right xx
@Katie Wow!! That is amazing! My little boy isn’t sitting yet but he is spinning himself round to get different things while on his belly. This morning he has finally started to roll himself back but if he takes his arms out from under himself he still gets stuck and can’t roll back over

From our experience, just lots of tummy time and leaving him a little when he gets frustrated, especially if you see he is attempting to roll belly to back. This has helped our little one problem solve through it. We also helped him at first by ensuring his elbows were under his shoulders and working on him following a toy so his head would tilt up, and he would have to shift his weight to an arm. This then, I think 😅, helped lay the core skills first. I would say he had been practising rolling onto his side and pushing up on his front for about a month and it's then taken our boy 3 weeks to master rolling from the first back to belly roll, and now he just gets everywhere 😂 Don't worry too much - he will learn it eventually 😍
