Any one's baby behind in milestones?

Please tell me I am not the only one.  Michael had his 4 month appointment today, and the dr said that he is a developmentally behind.  He isn't rolling over, isn't holding his head up much, and not standing.  He told us more tummy time and more holding him in the standing position.  I know that he will progress, but part of me is really sad that he is behind.  I am a teacher and have never really been on the parent's side of saying there is something wrong with their kid.  It is a lot harder than I thought.  The dr also is going to have us do either a cat scan or an mri because his head is flat.  He has Torticollis, so that explains his flat head, but still.  I feel like crap after all this news.  Anyone else been in my shoes?

    I think a lot of babies aren't rolling by 4 months... Mine hasn't rolled and he's almost 4 months.

    Big hugs!  Just do what the pedi said and increase tummy time.

    We just had our LO's 4 month appointment today, and he still is not rolling over.

    Our LO doesn't roll over and he doesn't really like to stand at all, he normally refuses to support himself... he will be 4 mos on Sat. ?

    Work on the tummy time, LO has bad reflux so it is hard. we use a mirror and that helps keep him interested...?

    DD doesn't really roll. If I nudge her a little, she'll roll from back to belly. She also doesn't push up on her arms much. I brought all this up at her 4 month appointment but the pedi didn't say she was behind. She said everyone develops differently and that it's still early.

    If babies don't meet milestones, it only means they'll meet them later.

    no worries :)

    This.  Everyone on their own time!

    My kid missed a TON of milestones for a long time because he simply did not feel well enough to...well, participate in life.

    Once we got his reflux under control, he did 3 major milestones in under 24 hours (laugh, find feet...and I forget what the third was!)

    All that said just to tell you that they can hold off, hold off, and then BAM! make-up for it really quickly.
