Hi all,
My 6 month old has been referred to physio this week as he’s behind on his gross motor skills. He can’t push up on arms, still has a slight wobbly head, didn’t roll up to this week, appears to be a long way off sitting, doesn’t bear weight on legs most of the time, if he does it’s only slight and his feet aren’t flat on the ground.
His fine motor skills are good, communication is good.
When he was born and up to 3 months he only looked and laid down one way, GP said numerous times all normal. His head is flat on one side because of this. I started doing my own PT at home to help turn his head which worked as I suspected torticollis.
he has bad reflux, constantly sick with movement!
if I give him a toy he does reach out work both arms, he appears to kick evenly on his back and he seems to have a lot of grip strength and kicks hard.
I’ve noticed if I roll him or he rolls he can’t get his left arm out from under him, he also has “waiters tip” left arm but not all of the time. I had an uneventful birth although the pushing stage was quick and he came in 20 mins. He was jaundice which required Light therapy twice. We both had suspected sepsis when he was born (my waters went early, I suspect this was cause) nothing had been noted at birth that could cause any long term issues.
when I look back at photos you can tell his posture, specifically his left side is not right (can’t believe I missed it in the photos)
any cp mums I’d appreciate any advice/signs ect!
