Did my baby forget how to roll over?

My daughter is 3 months old today. Two weeks ago we had her on her tummy and after a little struggle she rolled over. Well she continued to do this almost the whole weekend. Well last weekend I had her on her tummy and she can't roll over now? She struggles and struggles and then ends up crying and getting mad? Should I be concerned about this?

Answer:
no, she will do it again eventually. And don't rush her the faster they do things the faster you will go insane.
I wouldn't worry, she will roll over plenty when she is good and ready. It doesn't mean she forgot :)
our son rolled over a few times when he was really little, but now that he's 5 months he never rolls over.. I think he could if he tried, but he doesn't try..
no, that happens
one day they learn something or just happen to be able to do it, and later on they don't exactly remember just what they did to be able to do it again
Babies develop at their own pace, so it's impossible to tell exactly when your child will learn a given skill. So it is probably fine and she will be truning over again soon.

Here is a list of things to watch for for 3- 6 months olds. which "could" mean a child is developmentally delayed

Alert your child's doctor or nurse if your child displays any of the following signs of possible developmental delay for this age range.

Does not grasp and hold objects by 3 months
Does not smile at people by 3 months
Cannot support head well by 3 months
Does not reach for and grasp toys by 3 to 4 months
Does not babble by 3 to 4 months
Does not bring objects to mouth by 4 months

Mine daughter was very similar. Rolled over quickly but a few weeks later acted like she couldn't and got very frustrated when on her tummy but now is doing it again like a little pro. I think their very quickly growing and developing little bodies makes it difficult to keep doing the same things consistantly. Imagine you woke up every next morning feeling 20 lbs heavier. It would be difficult to accomplish all the same physical tasks. Don't worry, unless there are other signs of a developmental delay or problem she will probably go back to rolling when she can or feels like it.
