I'm not sure if I should post this here but I posted in parenting and I was advised that people on here may be able to help me better
My dd is 11 months old and she can't sit up yet or roll over or crawl. She sees a physio and we see portage (a team who deal with disabled aNd special needs children) to help her. She seems to be able to sit but once she realises she is she leans back and she just flops back. No one really seems to know what if anything is wrong with her. The physio seems to think she's just weary and is taking it all in before she does it. I've googled (I know googles the devil) and everything that comes up always seems to have other stuff linked. She can do loads of little stuff. She can pick things up in a pincer and pass them hand to hand, she can clap (if you ask her too she can do it don't have to show her) she can wave, blow raspberries say dada, nana, Hiya and hello. She is a happy little girl loves laughing and smiling. She can pick her dummy up and put it in herself and she's a fantastic little sleeper (most of the time!) and she can feed herself and drink from a straw. It's just her gross motor skills that seem to be the problem
We don't know how to help her and we try our best to encourage her and we have lots of toys and props to help her sit up.
Has anyone been through this? Is it possible that she can be totally fine and be this delayed? She's our first so we are a bit scared as to what can happen
A little bit of background she was 11 days late induced and forceps. Had phunomia and was in SCBU for 3 weeks, wouldn't feed so had feeding tube for 8 weeks. The consultant seems to think she's lazy (very helpful) but he's finally agreed to see her on the 14th feb. is there anything I should ask him specifically? Can I ask for an MRI? If I do how long will it take? Would it be the best route? I'm not a ' wait and see' person so this is really getting to me. It's stopping me really enjoying her as I keep seeing other babies who are months younger doing stuff she can't.
Sorry for the extremely long post I hope someone can help
