[QUOTE=Onyx;2698815] It is an awful feeling when someone else agrees with you about your fears for your baby.QUOTE]
Thanks, it sure is Onyx, I was kind of hoping that she would say that she sees lots of bubs developing at diffent rates but when she actually bought up the fact that he doesn't roll before I did it really made my heart sink

Oh hugs hun. It is so hard to carry the burden of worry and concern for our little ones. I truly hope that your DS is perfectly healthy, and that there is a simple explanation and solution. I hope that you can stay positive until your appointment, and not let the negative thoughts run wild and keep you awake at 3am (I need to learn this).

Sending my love and strength.
Thanks Ash, it's so hard not to think all the worse case scenarios.

It's probably the only time you will want to be told you have a lazy baby though A friend of mine had this problem with her little girl and she ended up just being a "lazy baby." Her crawling and walking were delayed but by 3 years old you would never have known the difference! Please come back and let us know how you get on. Xx
Thanks starangelk, yep if thats all it is, he can be as lazy as he wants

We have a red flag chart at work, and we recently were looking at the supporting own weight part last week - our chart says to be concerned if that isn't occuring by 12 months....some babies are much slower to start, but you will often find that once they start, it's a big flow on effect and lots of milestones fall in a short period of time.

Worrying is a very normal part of being a good mummy - because it means you are aware of things, I've seen a few parents in my time who are totally oblivious to any problems their child may have.....so while worrying sucks, at least it means you're a great mum!!

I hope you get your answers at your visit and everything will be just fine!
Thanks Ausgirl, that's somewhat re-assuring to know the chart says 12 months. I forgot to mention in my OP but DS was also born with a crooked gluteal cleft. The paed checked it out at the time and said it was nothing to be concerned about, but now I'm wondering whether it could be an indication of an issue.

He is such a delightful little man, I'm really hoping that he's just lazy, or at worst case scenario he needs some physio to get his strength up.

I'll keep you guys posted on what the paed says.

thanks again xxx
