Teach a Baby to Roll Over - Place your baby on a blanket on the floor, on her back and hold a toy above her head, slightly off to the side.
Shake the toy to convince your baby this is the toy she wants to reach. A rattle works the best because the noise attracts babies.
Teach a Baby to Roll Over
Gently rotate your baby by supporting her hip on the opposite side of the toy and guiding her leg across her body. This will slowly rotate her body to mimic the movement she should do when she rolls over on her own from back to front.
Touch her knee to the floor. The body should now be halfway rolled over. Many babies, if they are strong enough to roll over, won't need any additional help. If your baby is 4 months or younger or hasn't quite developed her muscles yet to roll over, move on to the next step.
Take her arm on the opposite side of the toy and gently extend it across her body until your baby naturally rolls over. The head will naturally follow the leg and the arm until your baby is on her tummy. Let her grab the rattle, or give it to her. This shows her that it is fun to roll over because she can more easily reach toys.
The ability to roll over is one of the first mobile skills a baby will learn. Parents get pretty excited when their baby first rolls from front to back or back to front. Typically, it is more difficult for a baby to roll from his back to his front. It may happen months after a baby rolls the opposite way. Healthy, full-term babies can usually roll over both ways by 7 months of age. - by eHow
