1 year old not crawling or standing - starting to worry

[sunisbetterthanrain]

My lovely little one has just turned one but she's stationary and not even showing signs of crawling, she doesn't support her own weight when you hold her up, she will reach forward for a toy but if she can't reach she just shouts, she doesn't even attempt to use her legs to get to it. She can roll over but after a few mins on tummy she is furious, I've seen her roll back but only once or twice and not for a while, it's as though she has forgotten how. She can sit for ages but needs support and can't go lying to sitting. Definitely no way near standing!
The HV just said to keep an eye on it and Google has a whole host of silly suggestions. I'm just wondering if anyone else has been in this position with a 1YO? I suppose I am looking for reassurance that she's just very behind!

Hi there, oh god I can relate- I remember the constant questions from my family - is he crawling yet? Walking? Ugh. I went to a pediatrician as I got quite worked up (at 12 months) and he started crawling literally in that appointment. I apologised to them for having wasted their time but they were super clear that it was good i came if i was worried! So: go make an appointment if you can, as soon as I had it I felt better. I know the HV said wait and see, but the doctors reassurance resonates in my head: you're worried, so try to get a second professional opinion? It might take a few weeks/months to get an appointment with a pediatrician anyway. It'll put your mind at ease to have it and in the event help is needed you'll be double glad you didn't wait for much longer.

none of our kids or GC crawled and we had the same and worried with one GC but they started walking within the hour one day close to their first birthday.
One of our kids started walking just under 10 months but from memory, most walked at 11 months but as you know it varies and when it happens, ie walk, it happens within the hour or so, so try not to worry

Do you have a baby wlaker, whats baby like in that?

For reassurance, visit child clinic and see GP, for good peace of mnid/advice etc!

Your DD sounds a lot like mine. In my experience it was impossible to get any extra help until 18 months when we were finally referred to physio. DD is now 21 months and we are still not sure if she is just taking her time or if there is an underlying problem with her development. She did start bum shuffling at 13 months and is perfectly happy in herself. In hindsight I might have done more to encourage her to stand/walk rather than follow her lead as the bum shuffling has caused some problems with her muscle and tendon development. Saying all this 12 months is still pretty early to worry and lots of kids that age are not crawling or walking yet. She might just be focusing on other things.
