Baby's development

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
My son is now 7month old turning 8 on 20th but he doesn't roll over, crawl, and sit by his own yet. He can't even sit straight when i sit him. I know each baby is different but i'm beginning to worry. Is this normal?

    If it worries you, you should ask your pedi. I think at eight months they should at least be able to sit unassisted.

    I'd talk to the pedi and potentially get an eval done.

    DS#1 got speech therapy, occupational therapy, nutrition and special education through early intervention.  Now, he is completely "typical" and doesn't receive services anymore.

    My baby is 7 months and all she can do is roll over.  One way.  She can't sit unassisted at all.  My doctor said not to worry because all babies develop on their own schedule.  The "milestones" are guidelines, but there is no hard and

    I agree with all, talk to your pedi. Also, make sure that you are providing opportunities for your baby to practice such as tummy time and playing in a supported sitted position

    Generally by 7 or 8 months, babies should be able to sit with support and roll from back to tummy.  If you've been doing plenty of tummy time with him, that should help strengthen his arms, neck and core to enable him to meet milestones. If not, that
