When will my son start to roll over he is 13 weeks old?

My son rolled unintentionally from tummy to back at 8 weeks old. It was more him fussing about during tummy time & wriggling so much that he flipped. He rolled over intentionally, from back to tummy at 16 weeks, and could do it both ways from then on.
My younger son was a little unconventional. He was rolling from back to tummy at only 10 weeks old. It was constant, and it was nerve-racking. He would flip over then be face down on the floor, unable to roll back the other way, or even lift his head,
Tummy time doesn't have to be for hours. A few minutes a day (even if your baby seems to be hating it) is plenty.
When he is ready too, some babies roll over very early, at about 6 to 7 weeks weeks old, others don't roll over until much later, like 6 or 7 months old. He is is still on the early side for rolling over and so he will roll over when he is developmentally ready too. Try giving him as much tummy time as he will allow (as I know not all babies like tummy time), because that will help him develop the muscles he needs to roll over. If he doesn't like being on his tummy on the floor, lay down on a bed and then lay him on his tummy on your chest and have him have tummy time that way (I do this with my 10 week old daughter as she hates tummy time on the floor).

Usually babies begin to roll onto their sides between 3 1/2-4 1/2 months then shortly after that from their back to belly.
When he is ready :) My son is almost 13 weeks. He doesn't absolutely love tummy time, but he does do it. He loves to lay on his back. He will roll from side to side, he hasn't quite got all the way over yet, but he is soooo close! I would say start just laying him on the floor on his back, if you don't. With more and more time on the floor, he will learn to roll side to side and will eventually roll over :)
Your baby will eventually get use to tummy time. It might take some time though, so be patient.
My daughter is almost two months old and she has already rolled over twice already. i think she probably did it by accident, but atleast its a start.

Once your baby has head control, and about the same time that he learns to sit on his own, he'll learn to roll over. He'll eventually learn to flip over from his back to his tummy and vice versa, and he'll use his newfound skill to get around a bit. The incentive for those early rolls is often an elusive toy — or you.

When it develops
Your baby may be able to kick himself over, from his tummy to his back, as early as age 2 to 3 months. It may take him until he's about 5 or 6 months to flip from back to front, though, because he needs stronger neck and arm muscles for that maneuver.
How it develops:
At about 3 months, when placed on his stomach, your baby will lift his head and shoulders high, using his arms for support. This mini-pushup helps him strengthen the muscles he'll use to roll over. He'll amaze you (and himself!) the first time he flips over. (While babies often flip from front to back first, doing it the other way is perfectly normal, too.)
At 5 months your baby will probably be able to lift his head, push up on his arms, and arch his back to lift his chest off the ground. He may even rock on his stomach, kick his legs, and swim with his arms. All these exercises help him develop the muscles he needs to roll over in both directions — likely by the time he's about 6 months old. copyright pregnancy question and answers,Other-Business&Finance

While some babies adopt rolling as their primary mode of ground transportation for a while, others skip it altogether and move on to sitting, lunging, and crawling. As long as your child continues to gain new skills and shows interest in getting around and exploring his environment, don't worry.

Your role
You can encourage your baby's new skill through play. If you notice him rolling over spontaneously, see if he'll try again by wiggling a toy next to the side he customarily rolls to. Or lie down next to him on one side — just out of reach — and see if he'll roll to get closer to you. Applaud his efforts and smile. Rolling over is fun, but it can also be alarming the first few times.

Although your baby may not be able to roll over until about 3 months, it's best to keep your hand on him during diaper changes from the very beginning. Never leave your baby, even when he's a newborn, unattended on a bed or any other elevated surface. You'd hate for his first rolling-over experience to result in a serious injury.
