baby isn't developing

[shwngllnt]

At 2mths my baby weighed 14lb 13oz, she is now 9mths and weighs 14lb 10oz.  she is still breastfeeding and has been eating solids since 6mths, and she has bowel movements every week to week and a half.   I find her development is slow she is still trying to situp unassisted, rolls over to belly but won't roll back over to her back.  When she is lying on her belly she is not interested in playing with toys all she does is ly there and constintly rock her pelvis back a forth.  she just had blood work done, and is going to the Pediatrician in 2wks.  Any suggestions are welcome.

Just something you could try in the meantime.  I'm not sure if your state offers this but I think it's fairly common.  You should call your local WIC or Public Health office and inquire about any developmental evaulation programs they may have.  In my state the doctors refer you to these people anyway to do the full evaluation.  Here it's a program call Right Tracks.  It's free for any child ages 3 and under of any family income level.  If the child is shown to be below a certain level for their age and there are concerns they set up programing and work with parents to help the child along.  It's basically a program that tries to catch kids that need help early before they are in Kindergarten and being held back etc.  Most of the time they can help them catch up. Good luck to you!  Hopefully your doctor can shed some light on what is going on also.

both my boys were early but my frist one crawled at 13mos and first walked at 15mos. he did roll over when he was probly 1min old he scared the nurse he about rolled off the cleaning table. but when he was 2 days old he was rolling from belly to back and back to belly. but that is the only thing he did early he was a yr old before he sat on his own. and my 2nd he rolled over at 2mos, crawled at 12mos and sat on his own at 7-9mos and walked at 13mos. was your baby early at all or did you carry her full term?

You can call the Regional Center.  You do not need a refferal.  I live in CA so it may be different where you live.  Call your pediatritian too.  

My son did the rolling over and crawling late. He was evaluted by the Regional Center and got special services until he was 3.  

It was wonderful taking him to see the Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapist.  

He walked late, he was almost 2 years old, it was hard to see him sooooo big and crawling.  We thought he might never learn to walk.  

Guess what though?  He was sooooooo big when he started walking, he was almost running the same day.  And because his legs were so well developed, he never ever stumbled or fell at all.  

He is 4 now and he is walking, running, and actually talking better than most 4 year olds.  

She may be slow to develop, but like my son she might just be late.  

My son was late in his gross motor and fine motor skills, but at 3 years of age I taught him to read.  Now he is 4 and is reading at a 2nd grade level.  

Everyone was telling me not to worry, but of course I did.  I am telling you that she will develop, it may be later than most children but it will all happen.  

Much love and luck to you.  Please keep me posted on this forum on her development
