How to train baby to flip over?

Learning to flip is an important milestone in any baby's life and develops differently, at different speed for each individual child. A friend of mine actually taught her little girl to flip over quite early, a month or two after birth because she realised that her daughter was very active and wriggling side to side whenever she was placed on her back. She placed on a soft surface like a mattress and put baby's favourite toy a little distance away from her left or right side. Baby would notice the toy and attempt to reach for it and slowly try to flip over in order to get the toy. You can help baby flip the first few times and subsequently let her figure it out on her own.
