DS is 15 months old and has only just started to crawl..
I often would put his toys just out of reach hoping he would go to them or put him on all fours and encourage him to come towards me and finally just last week after almost 6 months of encouraging he is crawling! smile

He didn't roll over until around 7 months and couldn't sit up alone until almost 10 months.
I've spoken to our doctor as well as few friends but keep getting told that he is fine and it's normal.. unsure

Anyone have any suggestions?

All babies are different and some can take allot longer than others...

For example my little girl is 10 months and has been commando crawling for about 1 1/2- 2 months but a little boy in my mum’s group has been fully crawling since 6 months and is now almost 10 and is beginning to pull himself up and a little girl in the group has been fully crawling since 6 months is now 8 or 9 and is standing up almost by herself and can get up stairs for about 1 month now.

I know you would be worried but as I say my little girl is just lazy lol smile

Hi there. My DD didn't crawl until her first birthday and is still not walking and she's nearly 18 months - there is nothing wrong with her, she's just taking her own sweet time! I too would say that it's normal and that you have nothing to worry about as they're all different and do things in their own time. If your doctor isn't worried, that is a great sign.

But if you really worried, get a second opinion or take her to a physio for a check up. My physio checked my DD's hips and legs when I was worried she wasn't crawling and she was fine. It really put my mind at ease. The doctor and mat child health nurse also said she was fine. It's worth getting a second opinion for peace of mind for you so you don't stress yourself out.

All the best, take care and try not to worry. smile

Thankyou both. smile

I'm probably just over-reacting. roll eyes

I have an appointment with our paediatrician the end of this week for the twins and will mention to her again about DS and see what she says...

Going to a physio doesn't sound like a bad idea as DS just doesn't appear to have any strength in his legs..

I'm trying to keep positive and tell myself he is just taking his time.. smile

Thanks again.

Hi smile Thats a good idea to mention it the paediatrician. Hows your ds going in other areas of development? It may be just that he is focussing on other areas. But if your worried the best thing is to get him checked. And a phsio may be a good idea as by this age they usually have fairly good leg strength even if they aren't doing much in the way of walking.
