6 Months Baby: Physical Milestones
Growth
Most babies cut their first tooth at around 6- 8 months, so always watch out for your baby’s first sign of teething. It may come along with a bit of distress (cranky baby, baby trying to chew on everything s/he gets around), but don’t worry that’s just a phase.
Motor Skills
- Sits with own arm’s support without anyone’s help.

Shikha Anurag it's normal for babies to learn to roll over by 4 months. wait till 4.5 months and then you would want her to stop! :D

My baby is now 5 month, she shakes the toys, hold it, she only turns that is too rarely. When lying flat she hold her head up as to get up. Also strrch her back as trying to get up. But she is not rolling over. Otherwise when put on tummy she hold her head up.
