Do bigger babies roll over later?
My baby will be seven months old next week. She seems to be hitting all of the milestones right in time except for some of the physical ones. She still hasn't rolled over and I'm not sure how concerned I should be. She is much bigger than her siblings were and I think that might be part of the reason why. She already wears 12 to 18 month clothes and weighs 22 lbs. She's also very tall and is breastfed so I'm not worried she's overweight, she's just a big girl. I also don't get much of a chance to give her time on the floor since her my 21 month old son clobbers her. Is there any one who has a had a large baby that has had the same experience? Thank you

You should be concerned. A child should be rolling over between 3 to 4 months and by the latest 6 months. If your child is ever 2 month behind (4 months is the norm) then the child should be evaluated. The good thing is, with no child left behind, Children get therapy for free in the home or child care where ever they may be during the day from birth to 3 years. You just need to talk to the pediatrician and tell him/her the concern and ask who to contact in your area. If for some reason your doctor does not know, call your local school and ask if you can talk to a speech therapist or leave a message. They usually will know that information. Even if your doctor does not think it is a big deal, you can still ask for your child to be screened by the therapists.
