Help a Baby Roll Over - Give your baby plenty of time on her belly. At the time of publication, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends placing a baby on her back to sleep. This recommendation makes tummy time during awake periods more important. Tummy time helps strengthen the baby's upper-body muscles.
Roll your baby over back to front to back again by gently holding his legs and manipulating them so that his whole body turns over. Make this a game by singing to him as you do it.
Help a Baby Roll Over
Place a toy out of her reach to one side. In some cases, when she reaches out for the toy, the weight of her body will flip her over.
Position your baby with a pillow under his chest. The additional height the pillow provides offers more leverage, which can help your baby roll over.
Pull up gently on the side of the blanket on which your baby is lying. This motion will roll her over on her own and give her a sense of the motion involved.
While each baby develops and meets milestones at his own rate, the average age for rolling over is around four months. In many cases, babies will roll from front to back before they roll from back to front because of the physical mechanics of the motions. If your baby is not rolling over yet, you cannot force him to do it; you can, however, encourage him and practice with him to help him learn on his own. - by eHow
