DS still not moving at 12 months

[knitting774]

The HV has referred my DS to a physio because he's still not moving about at 12 months. He can't go from lying to sitting, doesn't crawl or bum shuffle, doesn't go on all fours, doesn't bear weight on his legs, doesn't roll much and has no interest in moving - just sits still on his mat and plays with his toys.

I don't know much about what physios do, but will they be able to tell me whether there is anything physically wrong with my DS? Are they qualified to check for things like hip dysplasia?

The first appointment is next month and I'm feeling extremely anxious. Thank you.

Friends Ds didn’t sit up on his own till he was 12 months. Didn’t walk till he was over 2 years old.
Dd didn’t say a word till she was over 2 years old then came out with full sentences.
Whilst it is good to check that everything is ok it can be just that some children develop at a much slower rate than others.
Ds otoh could feed himself at 6weeks old. I would hand him a bottle and he would be able to put it in his mouth and tilt it up when he got near the end. He walked at 9 months and by 10 months was jumping off the window sill and climbing the curtains. But he didn’t learn to read till he was 12 years old.

What is his speech like? Is he starting to make sounds like mamamama & dadadadada? Have you had his hips checked? I wasn't making any effort to stand, crawl or roll at 12 months, turned out I had dislocated hip

Yes, he says mamamama, dadadada, babababa, gagagaga.

His hips were checked at birth and again at 4 months, no issues found. His creases are symmetrical. Will the physio be able to detect any problems with the hips?

Yes physio will check hips

I know this is an old thread but would love to hear how your little one is doing now knitting774. My daughter sounds identical to your son when you wrote this, I’m so worried.
