Good morning,
Looking for others experiences please. My son is 14m and doesn't crawl or walk. He does this weird bum shuffle thing from a sitting position, whilst leaning really far forward, almost like a crab the way he drags his legs along. His childcare provider has flagged a possible issue with his legs as he doesn't seem to want to weight bear. He doesn't sit on his knees, or try and pull up etc. I contacted HV who asked a few questions and asked if there is a family history of hyper mobility which there is, on my partners side. She said based on what I told her he needs to see a physio. He cries when you try and help him to stand up, and avoids putting any weight on his legs.
I'm really upset that there's potentially something wrong with him, I just thought he was being lazy and now feel guilty that I didn't pick up on it. The HV obviously couldn't diagnose but when I asked what the problem could be she said the family history of hyper mobility may be a factor.
So I'm wondering if anyone else had babies with hyper mobility and what your experiences were? I just feel sad for him that he could be walking so late as I don't want him to be missing out.
Also, for anyone who may have experienced similar, does this sound like anything else other than hypermobility?
Thanks
