DD is nearly 10 months and not crawling. Saw the health visitor last week who seemed concerned. Baby does bum shuffle and tries to pull up to stand, but seems to have minimal strength in her arms. If we assist, she can stand fairly strongly holding our fingers. But her legs go out to a frog position whilst lying on her tummy and she screams. Hv suggested she doesn’t get enough tummy time. in a sense she is right as this is DC2 and baby spends loads of time strapped into the pram whilst DC1 is being carted around.
DD sits quite strongly (can only get to sitting from lying with assistance) and rolls both ways easily. She had loads of tummy time when she was tiny but admittedly much less over the last months as she’s become a strong sitter.
I’ve been reading out bum shuffling’s links to other delays and went into a bit of a tailspin. Any suggestions for helping baby learn? Should I push for physio? Something else?
