Once your baby has head control and about the same time that he learns to sit on his own, he will learn to roll over. Your baby may be able to kick himself over, from his tummy to his back, as early as age 4 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.

What action do you perform to relieve choking in an unresponsive infant?
To relieve choking in an unresponsive infant, first, gently tap the infant's back while holding them face down on your forearm, giving up to five firm back blows between the shoulder blades. If the infant remains unresponsive, carefully turn them over and perform five chest thrusts using two fingers in the center of the chest, just below the nipple line. If the infant does not respond, call emergency services and continue alternating between back blows and chest thrusts until help arrives or the infant begins to breathe.
