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?

Re: DS's development
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.
