When Should Baby Roll Over, Reach for Toys, and Sit With Support?

Baby is moving a lot more by their half birthday! They can now roll in both directions, reach for toys while on their tummy, and start to sit up using their hands for support! These 4-6 month motor milestones are important signs that Baby is growing typically and gaining the skills they'll need for future development.

Tracking these milestones helps you support healthy motor development and notice if Baby needs a little extra help.

Baby should meet these motor milestones by 6 months:

✅ Rolls from back to tummy and tummy to back
✅ While on tummy, pushes up on straight arms
✅ Reaches for toys while on tummy
✅ While lying on back, reaches both hands to play with feet
✅ Uses hands to support self while sitting
