Feeling behind

[hol92]

Does anyone else feel like there baby is behind? Every time I go to baby groups I leave feeling really rubbish.. I took him to soft play this morning and just left, seeing 11 month old baby’s (mine is 15 months) answering yes and no to questions and just seeming a lot more with it makes me feel like I’m doing somthing wrong, I almost feel like those mums are judging me when I say how old he is , he’s also very small (but so are his mum and dad) I don’t know I guess I just feel a bit on my own with this so wondered if anyone else feels the same ❤️

I would suggest that an 11 month old answering "yes" or "no" is more unusual than a 15 month old not...

I've got a 21 month old who though he walked early at 10 months only says 3 words and even those aren't clear. All babies develop so differently. Comparing with other babies just leads to madness. I'm sure your little one is grand and he's obviously got a loving mommy

Yes OP I felt like you. My DS (now 9) didn’t sit up until he was 8 months, crawl until he was 11 months nor walk until he was 19 months. He spoke well thankfully so I didn’t feel he was behind in all areas but the late moving really bothered me, and I really worried about it. He also didn’t say much until he was over 1, when a lot of other babies seemed to be waving, clapping, and saying random words from about 9 months onwards!

He’s 9 now and has ADHD and Dyspraxia which explains a lot of the movement issues.
