11 month old not sitting, crawling...

[jenlh]

My 11 month old is not sitting up on her own yet.  She can not pull her self up into a sitting position nor can she sit by her self if I sit her up.  She's not crawling, walking or standing.  She does roll very well though.  She also hasn't spoken any words yet(mamma, dadda...) It's almost as if she's an eight month old baby and not on her way to a year.  She was three weeks premature, but otherwise very healthy.  She hasn't even been sick yet.  I've increased her tummy time and have been paying extra special attention to her developement but am very conserned.  Could this be a real problem?

Hi I have a 10 month old baby girl who had mild hypotonia when she was 3 month old but then no other doctors mentioned it again so lack of physio, now that she is 10 month old, can roll over perfectly in both directions, sits up when I sit her up...trying to crawl but not there yet and cant really stand, it is making me worry sick. I have asked for a physiotherapy assessment which seems like ages to come through by post. Hope and Pray for all the little beautiful bubbas out there.

Just wondering if anyone has found a link to all of these issues.  My son is experiencing the EXACT symptoms...16 months old, cannot sit on his own , he crawls but cannot walk or move around furniture...he gags on chunky food, is underweight and small in length but has a large head (50th percentile)  he sees PT and is undergoing many tests through genetics and endocrinology...he was c-section and also had oxygen issues at birth, stomach tube and infection due to sepsis of the lungs....Please if someone has any ideas post them...it has to be something it just takes sooo long to diagnose.  Please e-mail if anyone has suggestions:)

hii
I was looking for development delays in 11 months old and happened to drop by your message. My son is 11 months old now and has same delays as your daughter had. I am concerned for my son since he cannot sit up on his own yet, doesnt crawl or stand. Started rolling 3 months back and now hold his head up high when is on his tummy which he wasn't doing earlier. Sorry to disturb you but can you please let me know how your daughter developed in terms of her reaching physical milestones? I might start physiotherapy for him soon. Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks :)

Hi there! I was reading ur post & it sounded familiar to me. I hope all is well with ur son & hopefully you can help me out as well. I have a 13 month old who was also born full term (no complications in pregnancy) but just 24 hours after he was born he started having seizures (a lot- that were very hard to control). He was in the nicu for a month & had countless tests done (MRI's, EEG's, Lumbar Punctures, etc.) & the doctors could not find a reason for the episodes. He has only been diagnosed with seizure disorder, hypertonia & cross-eyes but there has still never been a real diagnosis. This has been the roughest year of our lives & we've been on a mission to find an answer & cure to all of this. He can't sit up alone, hold his head straight, crawl, walk, etc. My husband & I have seen some progress in him though (no thanks to any doctor!) but are still very worried about his future. We believe he has the signs of cerebral palsy but are hoping it's not the case. Please let me know how your son is progressing today & the steps you took. Thank you very much & I wish you all the best!
