MY 12 month old DS crawls (since 10.5 months) rolls and sits up, has great fine motor skills. But he can't pull up. Did it once in the bath and that's it. Goes onto his knees. Likes being pulled up to standing, but then stays in that exact position. Doesn't cruise. But weight bears well. Has pushed a few steps with walker but again, not frequently.
He is small, podgy legs. We had to see a paed consultant about something else and she thinks his legs have good muscle tone and wasn't unduly worried. Said possibly his hips might be a bit flexible, but to come back at 18 months if not walking.
I was diagnosed with hypermobility after pregnancy - never had an issue before, and to be honest, a year on, it's not much of an issue now. I think we all have a bit in my family. My mum has a double joined thumb. My 11 year old nephew has been diagnosed with it because of joint pain in knee - but he's very fit and hopefully his exercise will support him, as mine does.
But I worry about my DS. I feel really neurotic about it. That he should have pulled up by now. Or am I being ridiculous? I read such worrying stories about hypermobile children being in real pain and obviously that's upsetting.
And any exercises I can do to encourage him?
