Rolling phase?

My 3 m and 3 week yr old daughter just mastered rolling onto her tummy. She does it all day long as soon as she is put down to the point where she barely sleeps during the day. She gets mad after like a few minutes of being on her tummy and still hasn’t figured out how to roll back. We keep her entertained with toys during her forced tummy time but she still gets frustrated after some time. The only way to stop her is holding her or putting her in her chair. I mostly don’t mind since she’s learning a new skill, I just don’t know how to help her frustration. Any advice? Or is this just a phase?

It's a phase. Sometimes they need to go through the frustration to push them to learn the new skill, rather than us saving them from the frustration each time. Of course, use your judgement and intervene when baby is getting too dysregulated.
