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?

Try not to worry too much... my son also has unexplained low muscle tone. He sat at 13 months old, crawled at 15 months old and is starting to walk alone at 19 months old.

No problems with fine motor skills or eating.

MRI and other tests were normal. We were told it's probably benign hypotonia of lower muscles that should disappear as he grows.

Did any of you take celexa or zoloft during pregnancy?  my son is having all the same problems as your are. Hes 11 months old. He just started sitting up. He doesn't walk and doesn't show any interest in it. He just began eating food instead of baby food but he still gags alot. He just started crawling. But its a weird crawl. He cries all the time like hes in pain. I can hardly ever get him to stop crying. So far the doctor had him take a MRI and were getting the results on friday. We know he has low muscle tone or floppy muscles. Were just so worried.

My child was born natrually 2 weeks early,
He was admitted to scbu straight after birth
And stayed ther for 2 months. He had a
Mri scan that suggested severe cerebral palsy.
I didn't want to believe this so I treated
Him as normal, he is now a year but acts like
A 8 month old and is the size and weight also
Of the average 8 month. He can sit up fine
Though he didn't sit properly until 9 months, he
Can crawl round in circles and backwards
Though this is very recent so he has yet to master crawling forward and he is keen to walk but has no balence so can't.He has recently started talking saying 'muma dada yeah and hiya'. He also had a feeding tube in for 7 months,but I slowley introduced food and I feared he would never drink properley so everynight I gave him a little go on a bottle and now he loves eating and drinking, he's starting to become a right porker !!!! A all I did was play with him and never force him as I believe he's jus playing catch up from all the precious time he spent in hospital.I was upset and still somtimes do get upset wen other babys run round him whilst hE's just sat there but I know in a few months, with a bit of encouragement he will do it, and then I can stick 2 fingers up to the people who thought he was never going to do any of this stuff!!

My son is almost a year old and so far I have been told he has hypertonia. He can not do none of the above. We have started therapy. Wish Dr would have listened sooner. Any suggestions.
