So worried about my little man

[*Beema*]

Oh hun GBH

It is possible that there are other issues and not necessary CP, DD1 had hypermobility, and didn't roll until she was nearly 14 months old, she also had some low tone issues so her core muscles were weak, so wasn't able to support herself to sit up. She wasn't diagnosed until she was 11 1/2 months because I thought that she would roll anyday now and that she was just a late bloomer.... it wasn't until I really noticed that she would fight movements and hated tummy time with a passion that I thought I would ask the OT at our prem playgroup and she then recommended seeing the physios and it all went from there. It was quite a bit of hardcore physio, daily sessions by us and weekly at the hospital but it was amazing what she was able to achieve once she had support and we learnt how to help her.

But his other movements sound positive.

Hopefully what the Paed will suggest first is an assessment by a paediatric physio, to check for low tone and hypermobility issues. Oh and FWIW when we saw DD1's Paed when we had DD2 and told him she DD1 had hypermobility and some low tone he was really surprised, so he/she may not be able to say yes or no straight away.

Take care hun xxoo

Hi Beema, I'm actually starting to think that hypotonia or hypomobility might be it. Brock hates tummy time too. Thanks for sharing your story about N, It's given me some hope that with some help we can get on the right track. The paed I'm taking him to has a physio that works in conjunction with them. Will keep you updated on what happens Monday.

Best wishes for Monday huni...I really hope he just needs a bit of a extra support. xox

Oh my gosh, he did it! He ROLLED over! He wasn't very happy to land himself on his tummy and he didn't really know what to do once he got there, but HE DID IT!

Yay! I hope this brings you some relief!

Oh this is terrific news!!!! I've been wondering how he's been going!!! Huge hugs xxxx

I was going to say the same thing as Beema - it may just be a tonal (as in low tone) and hypermobility issue, dont think the worst yet - he may just need some physio to help sort it out.

Yay for the rolling!! XX
