Hi,
This is my first post on here, always reading others posts, but I feel like I need some answers about my DS milestones/progress.
i’lll start with the positives so he’s 7 months and ten days and can-
Sit up unaided but only when I put him into the sitting position.
eye contact is okay will look at you but not great.
can reach out arms when I go to pick him
up.
Sleeps relatively well always, but cannot roll over only has a handful of times from belly to back, never back to belly.
Can track objects and follows people if they leave or come into the room.
Will smile at us and occasionally laugh but not a great deal. Enjoys peekaboo.
can shuffle on his tummy but backwards.
lifts feet and brings to mouth.
babbling/screeching sometimes started grunting more and tensing his whole body when laying down on back which is worrying.
OKAYYYY NOW THE NEGATIVES:
hasn’t rolled back to belly
no interest in toys won’t reach out for them himself when he’s sitting up or on tummy time, will reach out for them when on his playmat on his back and if we hand him a toy he reaches for it but goes straight into his mouth.
constantly wants to put everything into mouth.
opens and closes hand throughout the day and stares at it for a few seconds each time.
doesnt really look when we call him think he turns more to the sound not his name.
scratches surfaces not constantly but does.
when sitting on sofa or floor constantly kicking his legs like rubbing his feet together.
arms and legs always moving
wont imitate or copy sounds or if we sing to him he won’t babble along.
not clapping
won’t really cry if he’s hungry
constantly looking up at lights or ceiling even when outside looks up at trees.
has no separation anxiety.
doesn’t cry when he wakes up.
no babbling mama or dada
will look everywhere but me when he’s outside in his pram
wont attempt to hold his own bottle
looking for any help and advice please?
one very concerned mum!
