This is a bit of w weird one. My DD is 18 m she sat up at 5 months..after that did nothing till a year. Then I'd I stood her up and could stand and walked un aided at 13 m. She is now a really solid walker.

She never rolled over or crawled or bottom shuffled missed the stage completely. The problem is now from lying down she can't sit up or from siting down cant pull herself up! Everyone said when she walks she can do it but she never has.

I have to pick at 2.5 stone baby up out of her cot each morning from lying down......If she falls over she just whinges and lies there. Just dosent know what to do

Mentioned to doctors today but didn't seem to worried. I think it's a bit weird now how will she learn! . Does anyone else have an experience of this or suggestions?

The doc looked at me oddly like she had never heard this!

Ask gp for ref to a pead. Mobility issues shouldnt be ignored. Can you self refer to paed ? Ask hv if you feel a bit erk about returning to gp
