My DS is 13 months old and he is unable to crawl and he won’t bear any weight on his legs. He can roll over but doesn’t do it very much, mostly only in his cot.
He appears to be focusing on his fine motor skills, he can put shapes in the shape holes now and he points, waves, claps and copies actions from songs. He also says a few words so that all seems normal.
He did hate tummy time as a baby so maybe that has contributed and I probably didn’t put him on his tummy enough because of this, however he is always on his tummy now and he has been for the last 5 months but he’s made very little progress. He can go round in circles on his tummy and if we hold his feet he will push off to get to something. But most of the time he just doesn’t seem bothered about getting anywhere! I put toys out of his reach and he will stretch as much as he can and then he just gives up!
Health Visitor said not to worry for another few months.
Just wondered if anyone else has any experience? I’m trying really hard not to worry or compare him to other babies his age but it’s getting harder and harder!
Thank you
