DS's development

KareninKarenin member
in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

DS's ped has felt so far that he is totally on track developmentally, but now that it's been nearly a month since we were there I have a question...

DS is 6 weeks younger than the other baby in our nanny share. DS is not quite 5 months. The other baby is doing a lot of things that DS cannot do yet- sitting up pretty well- not toally unassisted but getting close, and he is scooting around on the floors (not crawling on hands and knees but moving around really well on his stomach).

Does 6 weeks make that big of a difference, or is DS behind?

    6 weeks is huge!  If I think about how ds has changed in the last 6 weeks, it's like he's a different baby.  Don't worry about it, they change so fast.

    Six weeks is a ridiculously long time in baby time!!! Not only that but your DS might be a "watcher" and prefer to study a new skill rather than practice it and fail.

    Ditto the pp. 6 weeks is a lifetime. Think about what your baby already can do. One day they couldn't and the next it's like they got it.

    Also, every baby does everything in their own time. My pedi told me basically that as long as whatever milestone occurs in about a six month time frame..it's just fine. :)

    And this! I remember thinking sometimes that DD is nowhere even close to accomplishing "X" and then the next day it was like bam! she was doing it like an old pro.

    Thanks! I don;t mean to compare DS, but it's so hard not to! I am loving his infant stage and don't look forward to him being mobile (and thus not quite as easy) but it's so hard not to worry if they are developing as they should! Thanks for the words of wisdom.

    Yes 6 months can make a lot of difference but there is also a huge range of "normal." Don't compare babies, it only causes undo stress.
