Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, a full term baby turns on her back at 5 to 6 months while a preterm baby may take some more time according to corrected age for gestation. I think you should provide some more details like head circumference of baby, ultrasound head report. Revert back with above reports. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
