Should i be worried? He's not doing much

Please let me know if I am overreacting -

Ryan is 10 months old (in 1 wk) and does not crawl..

No sign of pulling himself up either..

Anyone else?

Thank you!

Re: Should i be worried? He's not doing much

he's sitting though right?

is he rolling?

my kid was a constant roller till 9.5 months, crawled for 2 weeks then walked.

if he's sitting and rolling I would not worry.

do you have things around him that he can attempt to pull himself up on for practice? maybe start him in a standing position holding onto couch?

I wouldn't be too worried. DS skipped crawling all together in favor of butt scooting and didn't pull to stand until around 11 months or so. Ask your ped if you're concerned

Some kids skip crawling all together but if he is not attempting to pull himself up I would probably speak to my ped.

my son did not crawl until about 9 months I was getting a little woried..even at 12 months he was still army crawling.... HE WANTED NO PART OF WALKING !!!! FINALLY at 14 mnths he began to walk he is now 15 months and all over I swear I cant even keep up with him! Dont worry he is fine!

Re: Should i be worried? He's not doing much

Well, crawling isn't even a milestone, so don't stress yourself out about that.

My DS didn't crawl until the weekend he turned 1, he didn't walk until he was almost 16 months old. But he did both perfectly when he did. Some kids are just more "careful" than others

Don't worry. Ava didn't crawl until 13 months and she didn't walk until 15 months and she hasn't sit still since!!!

Re: Should i be worried? He's not doing much

Did you say he was sitting up unassisted?

I would speak to the ped & call EI. While I don't think there is anything to really worry about it, they're the experts. If there is a problem, the sooner you get it worked on, the better. Keep in mind when you talk to them, they only get their information from you so if you're presenting it as "He's not crawling but rolling everywhere" but you don't to mention his legs going limp & he's not sitting, they aren't getting a full picture.

As long as he's getting plenty of floor time and progressing, I think he's fine.

Re: Should i be worried? He's not doing much

He's probably fine and just taking a little more time to pull up, but talk to your pediatrician and see if he/she recommends EI yet. May not be necessary.

A lot of kids skip crawling, so I think that's not even considered a true milestone, but pulling up is one. Not sure it's so late at this point though.

Re: Should i be worried? He's not doing much

DS is 9 months and no signs of crawling either. He is starting to scoot around backwards on his butt though He also is not pulling up and will only stand if I hold his hands. I'm not worried, he will do it in his own time. He also didn't start sitting unsupported until 7 months and rolling at 7 months so he has been behind all along.
