Our 8 month old has been diagnosed at having very poor vision.
Her poor vision means that she is behind on her development milestones. However, we know that she will get there eventually but it will take her a bit longer.
We started her on solids a couple of months, she loves food but due to her poor vision, she is not sitting up yet, which would seem to be due to her poor coordination rather than a lack of muscle strength.
Feeding her is a messy job due to her lack of body control. We even tried her in a bumbo today but she just isn't ready for it yet.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to build up her balance so that she will learn how to sit up?
