Hi, First of all do not be worried at all. All babies are different and all of them take their own time to reach their developmental phases. Many babies start to roll as early as 4 months and other around 5, 6 months. But as you said that your baby is born big so he may take little more time as he has to move a big body as compared to babies with small frame. You can basically help your baby in rolling by giving him enough tummy time. It helps in building strength in her back, neck and arms that she requires for the big push to roll over. Let him be on his tummy upto 15 to 20 minutes every day in your watchful eye. And if your baby is not liking it then start with say five minutes of tummy time and gradually increase the time. You can also keep his favourite toys around and that can act as a motivation to roll over. This will build his arm strength and muscles and he will gradually learn to roll. Even you can roll in front of him to show how it is done.
