My DD is 7 and a half months old and can't roll over or sit up. She wiggles about when on her back but doesn't get very far. When she was born she had a pretty bad time as was in hospital for 3 weeks with phunomia. Because of this she sees nurses and different people who noticed that at 6 months she held her head to the left all the time. They arranged a physiotherapist to see her who has given us exercises to help her neck movements and to help her when on her front.
She's a fantastic little girl very happy and sleeps through the night with no fuss. She has also weaned really well. It just seems her physical development is a bit delayed. I think I'm just extra worried as I have a back condition and DH has arthritis so its always in our mind that what If this is to do with us? Even though we have been told hundreds of times it's not!
So my question is has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do to encourage her? Or anything you have used that helped your baby sit? Or is it a case of wait it out till she manages it?
