Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Intro

I'm Rain, and I'm a young mommy to my 8 month old Miles. His dad left me when I told him I was pregnant.

Miles has not been reaching milestones very well, he just started sitting up, and I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through this?

  • Hi Rain. You're better off without him I'm sure. Babies reach milestones at their own pace I really wouldn't worry too much at this point. You may wake up one day and he'll be doing EVERYTHING at once.

  • Hi! Welcome! Have you talked to his pediatrician about it? Babies do things at their own pace, and I think 8 months is fine to start sitting. But you should talk to the doc if your concerned. He/she will be able to put your mind at ease I'm sure! :)
  • Welcome! My DD is almost 8 months old too, and she is a bit behind on some of the milestones as well. She does great with the verbal stuff and fine motor skills,  but her gross motor skills are a mess. She isn't sitting on her own for more than a few seconds, only rolled a few times (hates being on her tummy), and I doubt she will crawl anytime soon (or ever perhaps!). If you are super concerned, it may be worth a visit to the pedi, but like PPs said, all babies are so different.
