Baby is not rolling over
Hello. My son is 3.5 months old. He was born in 35 weeks 7 days. He is not rolling over till now. Even he doesnt try also to push himself to one side. When I am giving him tummy time he lifts his shoulder and kicks his leg but he doesnt like tummy time much. Is it normal for a child not to even try for roll over at this age? please suggest.

You seem to be worrying for all the wrong reasons. Rolling over occurs after 5 months of age. Most babies dislike tummy time.
At his age your baby should be able to hold his neck and recognise close family members and smile. If he has achieved this much, no need to worry
