My 7 month old is a happy chilled out munchkin unless she's been put on her tummy. Then she screams like a banshee or just mashed her face into her playmat. She is also showing no interest in rolling over. She'll sometimes flip her hips and legs over to side but her back is still flat on floor ifyswim. She has great head and neck control. She was trying to lift it at a few days old. The midwives were all saying she had amazing head and neck control for a newborn. She has been sitting up with support from just about 5 months and now sits great. Unless she sneezes or gets to excited about something. She leans forward or to side to try and reach things and can right herself a lot of the time. But just showing no interest in moving.
The tummy time has always been a bit of an issue because she was constipated pretty much since day 1. So think lying on her tummy was sore then but that's been sorted now.
HV keeps saying not to worry it will come and that some babies go straight to walking. Mil say dh was the same. When he did move it was the bum shuffle and didn't walk til 14 months. I have 2 friends whose babies are same age - give or take week - they are crawling, flipping themselves over. Another friend's baby is 1 and 1/2 months younger and Is practically doing acrobatics on her mat. I know you shouldn't compare babies and they are all different but sometimes I feel like what am I doing wrong? Am I failing her in some way?
I could honestly cry.
