Babies: 9 - 12 Months

CEO1197

Our DD's are the exact same age and I just have a couple developmental questions for you.  DD is rolling all over the house and can rock and get in crawling postion but can't yet sit up or crawl.  I know some babies are sitting up and crawling at this age (although not a lot) Can your DD sit up on her own or crawl?  Also how much solids does your DD eat per day? Our pedi says that DD can have 3 jars of stage 2 a day but sometimes she just isn't interested in eating that much solids and she shoves her hands in her mouth and makes giant messes.  How is your DD doing with solids? I know all babies develop differently but I am just curious of how things are going for your DD, I just find it interesting how different babies are.

    Hi!  My DD is such a slacker when it comes to rolling--she never does.  I guess I'm a bad mommy--she's probably not getting enough tummy time. She just has no desire to do it!  She gets onto her side but won't go all the way over.  I'm not too concerned yet, though, because she is sitting on her own (can't get into that position, but if I put her in the position she'll sit for a good 10 minutes before falling over).  Not crawling, but she is starting to try to pull herself up from a sitting position. 

    DD isn't really into solids much either.  She's still BF and we didn't start solids until about 5.5 months.  She didn't care for cereal or the veggies we tried, but we just tried bananas and apples and both were a hit.  We only do evening solids--again, I'm probably a bad mommy, but I work full time so it's hard for me to make the time in the morning to give her solids before work. 

     

  • I don't think you are a bad mom at all for her not rolling.  I never did tummy time because DD hated it.  She can roll everywhere despite that and now doesn't really mind being on her tummy, sometimes she is fascinated by it.  I am also a FT working mom so the only reason DD gets 3 jars of solids a day is because my parents keep her while I work and give her the first 2 and then I give her one more in the evening.  None of this makes you a bad mom.  Being a FT working mom is hard, that's pretty much a fact.  I am lucky though because even though DD is hard to feed solids she is not picky, she eats most everything I have tried, I can just tell she likes some more than others.  Oh and as far as not having time in the mornings, I have absolutely no time in the mornings either, I get DD up 15 minutes before it's time to leave, change her diaper, dress her and strap her in the car seat and then were off.  But again I have the advantage of my parents having her and being able to feed her when she gets hungry for breakfast and so on.  Oh and kudos to your DD for being able to sit for 10 minutes.  DD can only sit for about 3 seconds holding on to something (like the sides of the infant tub, when I sit her up to wash her back) and then she falls over.  Besides your DD is adorable still as usual.
