I have 15mo twins, who were born 5 weeks prem, but have always been a little more than 5 weeks behind in their development.
I haven mentioned to HV on several occasions to which I've been told "normal" is such a broad range, that it's hard to tell at this stage whether it's normal for them or a cause for concern.
Anyway, just thought I'd ask MN.
They have been crawling for about 2 months, one twin can pull herself up to standing but doesn't very often, neither coast or make any attempt to "walk", they babble but don't say anything recognisable like mamma or dadda. They are only just making moves to feed themselves with cutlery, i.e. dipping a spoon in a yoghurt pot and waving it in the general direction of their mouth.
Am I right to be concerned or is this still late but normal?
