Unmotivated 9 month old

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
my daughter who is 9 months seems to be extremely unmotivated and falling behind on some physical milestones. She does not roll over, crawl forward, sit herself up or pull herself to standing. She can sit unsupported if someone sits her. I am starting to feel concerned. Her pedi does not seem to be worried and said to give it a "few more weeks"..does any one have an experience with this? Should I be worried? Any tips? Thanks!

    Hmm..I'm no expert in this at all, but if it were me, I would definitely push the doctor for a consult to a specialist (not sure who that would be?) or maybe look into early intervention programs, if offered. It may be nothing but getting her evaluated might give you some peace of mind.

    Call Early Intervention in your area. They can evaluate. Do you do a lot of tummy time? My little guy was pulling up at almost 8 months and sitting at 81/2 crawling at 7 but not on his hands and knees until 9 months. Every baby is different. My guy is 13 months and babbles but no words. He isn't walking yet but cruises the furniture like crazy. No one is worried. Relax Mama and call EI they are awesome.

    I don't know if you should be concerned but if you looking for ways to help I used this app called Baby Sparks. It gives you activities to do with your baby to help them develop lots of skills. I used it with my little one and I loved it!

    Mine is 10 months and does not do everything you mentioned.  If you are concerned call early intervention. They can come evaluate and start services.  It's all free for the parents.

    My baby is a happy healthy 10 month old who is not crawling yet. She rolls to where she wants to go. She is very chubby and strong.  Doc says not to worry.
