is she behind??

Question

My LO turned 4 months on feb 8th. She was born 3 weeks early. She totally hates tummy time and she will pitch a fit until she rolls over or we roll her over. I'm almost sure it's because of her silent reflux. she's always spitting up. We can barely move her and she's constantly spitting up. She does not show interest in toys but sounds doncatch her attention but she babbles like crazy! I've see some of y'all  babies already sitting up, and I know every child is different.. when I put her in the corner of the couch she will sit for a bit but then she will just lean to the side. I practice with her all the time. She picks her head and shoulders up like she wants to sit up and I have her hold my fingers and she pulls herself all the way up to the standing position and will stay like that for a while.

Should I be worried about anything?

Any tips or tricks?

Answer

From the pic it looks like your LO has great head and neck control. My little guy just in the last week was able to hold his head up without a towel or boppy pillow underneath him for support. He is 17+ weeks. He also hates tummy time. There is a wide range of when they will hit there milestones but yours sounds right on track. 
If she was limp and not making any effort to bend her legs and unable to turn head and hold it up at all then there would be a concern. The fact she is babbling too is great

Here is something my mom sent me

Answer

She sounds like she's doing just fine 😊

Answer

She's totally fine!! I also was told that if they are early she might hit milestones later? So you're supposed to go by their due date ... physically she's 4 months old but developmentally if her due date was 3 weeks later she's developmentally closer to 3 months!

Answer

My daughter was also 3 weeks early. I felt like she was behind too. Then within a week she started rolling from her tummy and sitting with some support. It'll happen in time. She also hated tummy time and i found placing a toy that lights up in front of her helped.

Answer

Hi, don't worry my little girl is 4 months today, she was 5 weeks early, she's doing the same things as yours. They'll catch up 😀

Answer

She sounds like she's doing the same stuff my daughter is doing. Honestly everyone will hit their milestones when they're ready, it sounds like she's doing great though.

Doctor only mentioned wanting her rolling both ways and passing objects hand to hand by her four month check up.

Answer

My lo is the same kinda (will be 4 month on the 24th) ... she'll lose it when put on her tummy. If I push it and let her go a few minutes she's burry her face or scream as loud as she can until I pick her up.

She supports her head well laying on my chest or holding her upright and at this point prefers to sit up but refuses belly time in all parts 😂😣

I just don't know what to do

is she behind??
