UrbanBaby - 8 mo db can sit up but doesn't roll over...

new post » see more posts »

8 mo db can sit up but doesn't roll over or crawl. Time to be concerned yet? Ped wasn't worried about the no-rolling at her six month visit. Should I just wait until the nine month visit to discuss it again?

  - yes, she gets alot of tummy time - she seems to prefer it to lying on her back - she can lift her chest off the floor by straightening her arms but thats it.

    - Crawling is not a milestone. Don't be worried. If she doesn't start to pull up in another month to a standing/cruising position you may want to get her evaluated, but don't worry about it.

        Does she ever roll over in her sleep?

        It doesn't hurt to have her evaluated. Call your ped for a referral and by the time the eval actually happens she could very well be rolling and or crawling.

- My dd didn't sit up until 8 1/2 months and within one week of that was crawling. She was turning over by now then I think. Some babies just don't have strong enough muscles but that doesn't mean that there is something wrong. Everybody was freaking out when my dd wouldn't sit at 6 months but she was got the hang of it a little later. If your worried talk to your pedi.
