In general, it is normal.
Most babies roll over from 3 to 5 months of age
3 5 months: The vast majority of babies can turn from the supine position to the prone position, affected by the season, the age of the month of turning over is just in the summer, and the babies can generally turn over about a month earlier than the winter baby.

Usually we mean that the baby is flipped from the supine position to the prone position. Turning over seems simple, but in fact, it takes the strength of the head, torso, limbs, etc. to turn the body over, which is quite a challenge for the baby.
Parents can pay attention to the baby's rollover signals
Before the baby wants to turn over, there are often some small movements to prompt us, which is the roll over signal.
Heads up:
When the baby can skillfully lie on his stomach and raise his head, when the head and chest can be lifted when he is prone down, it means that the baby's lower back strength is ready to turn over.
Rollover:
When the baby is in the supine position, he likes to raise his head upwards on his own and skillfully turn sideways in the direction of interest.
Look up:
When the baby is in the side position, he likes to tilt his head back and push his feet up or backOr shake your foot to the side to drive your body to follow the rock. These are all signs that your baby may be able to roll over soon.
Before learning to Xi turn over, parents can first exercise the strength of the baby's head, torso, limbs and other body parts through some exercises Xi.
Prone head-up training, Xi neck and arms support:
Mom and dad can hang a brightly coloured balloon or a sounding toy above the bed to make your baby look up and up, and try to prolong each time.
Practice Xi rollover:
When the baby is lying on his back, the mother teases the baby with a loud toy on the side to induce the baby to turn over and exercise the strength of the baby's torso.
