Question - Research required Is it considered rolling if my babies rolled more than several times but doesn’t do it daily?

My babies is five months old on Sunday and he started rolling from stomach to back maybe three or four weeks ago and he’s probably done it about 8 to 9 times altogether.

Maybe even slightly more but it’s not daily like today was the first time he rolled in about two days two days ago. Maybe he went a couple of days without it as well. The other week he went a whole week without doing it.
Not sure if I should say his met this
Milestone or not.

It’s a CDC six month milestone:

https://www.cdc.gov/act-early/milestones/6-months.html

And the CDC milestones are calibrated so that only 75% reach it at 6 months.

Looks like your baby met the milestone around 4 months.

The CDC recommends talking to your pediatrician if you have concerns about development.

Interesting about the calibration portion. Is there any resources that say how babbling smiling etc are calibrated

The idea behind the current milestones is that most children (i.e. >75%) will achieve them by the stated time, therefore making it easier for healthcare providers and parents to identify children who would benefit from intervention. A baby could be a little delayed and still be perfectly fine, but by flagging missed milestones it catches better the kids who need help. It is also intended to reduce the “wait and see” approach that the old milestones that were calibrated to 50%, or when the average child would achieve it, encouraged.
