All babies are different hun! We have babies in my mothers group that arent rolling and a few that are almost walking and theyre All happy!
Is he very tall? My chn said taller babies take a little longer cos they have so much to move! It fits with the bub in our mg that isnt rolling yet but i dunno how true it is.
Either way he will be up and revving in no time and you wont know what hit you!!
Hugs to you, this is my 1st time parenting and when i hear about other ppls babies doing things and mine hasnt yet its hard not to think omg when is my baby going to do that. So like most of the previous posters have said they will do it in their own time when they are ready. I definately think thats true. If your bub seems perfectly happy and healthy then I wouldnt worry, but as others said u can always speak to your CHN if your concerned
Thanks so much everyone for your replies. I would have replied earlier but my internet dropped off for a few days.
You have really put my mind at ease I have to say! I know he will do his things in his own time. Today I've noticed that he is trying to commando crawl! That is so funny, I thought that first they roll, then they sit up, then crawl and then walk! So now I'm thinking I'll just go with the flow!
Gigi, to answer your question, I don't worry about it myself, I worry from reading stuff in my baby buddy thread and compare DS to the other babies his age. So it really is hard not to take notice what the other bubs his age are doing. But I will relax now and let him lead the way! Thanks hun
Beata70 so glad to hear that you feel much more at ease after the wonderful replies you've had here. Going with the flow is something I say to myself on a daily basis. I'm very like you and found myself worrying when I compared my little man to other babies especially worrying was it something I wasn't doing that meant he didn't seem to roll, crawl etc. Now that he is a little bit older (13 months) I am realising that they all really do things at their own pace and that its all okay. Its probably the only downside to support groups like Mothers Groups or Belly Buddys that it means we compare our babies the whole time. Gigi gave fantasic advice - wish I could word mine as well and make sure you come back and read it again when the doubt creeps back in! Xx
My DD1 didnt lift her head till over4 months so had physio
sat 10 months
rolled 10 months
crawled 12 months (all 3 styles)
walked 19 months
she had low tone but that dosnt account for how slow everything was she just use to think about things and wasnt worried about not moving. On the other hand DD2 is early doing everything and is nearly walking at 10 months so the fun begins.
DD and DS were both late starters (DS even had the advantage of being born with two bottom teeth, yet every baby in my baby buddies thread got more teeth thru quicker ).
Even with speech, I was especially concerned with DD as she was prem, but now, I've been told by the director of her child care centre that I should take her for testing as she is brilliant with numbers for her age.
They go through (in my case) a plateau every few weeks, then I'll start hearing new words, or seeing new skills, then we'll hit the plateau again and go thru the same process again.
