All babies are different and you shouldn't worry unless you see signs that something is wrong with him/her. I have heard of babies rolling over at 8 days, but they were heavier babies (around 10 pounds) lol. Most roll over at 3 months However, there is no set standard for rolling over.

the thing that I am concerned about is he hits his head when he rolls back over, no crying but it is a good hit.

Sorry I don't think you under stood what my responce was. to the question.

."have any one heard of a 7 week old turning over from back to belly and then trying to crawl, he makes it about a foot sliding on his head, I am a little concerned surprised about this? any help?"

I interpreted the question as a 7 week old being able to do this rolling and I thought she was concerned about the ability of the infant being able to do this.

I responded.. YES they can do it even just days old however, mostly around 3 months old. NOT to worry about the infant being able to do this as far as flexibility goes there is nothing wrong.

I have my ECE I have also gone to university and techers college. Right now I work with infants and have taken MANY infancy speciality courses. So, yes I do know that it can be dangerous mostly when sleeping. However that can be fixed by using an BABY SLEEP POSITIONER...

I wouldd. If your worried about him hitting his head hard place him on a soft surface.. Even a blanket with a thick padding under him. However, I do think that your baby will let you know if he's feeling pain, but alot of babies do have a high pain tolerance. If you're still concerned talk to your doctor, and ask questions about what else you can do, and if this will cause any harm. Also there is a doctor online you can ask too.

OH AND welcome to e healthforum!

every child is different and can go at their own pace. wills rolled on his tummy early and was concerned because of the fears of cot death. i spoke to my health visitor and she wasnt worried and said if you see him do it in the night just turn him on his back again

Thats what I said to about them going at there own pace. At night most parents try to get as much sleep as possible. Because we all know that the baby will be up. SO, I would just use BABY SLEEP POSITIONER... that way you're not up all night worried and watching
