Milestones?

Question

Hey all! This is my girly Winona (Nona.) She will be 7 months old on the 4th. My daughter is already seen by a PT, a neurologist and will see a geneticist soon. I want to be very clear I'm not looking for a diagnosis but rather some possibilities to bring up to her next appt or a chance to see shes actually pretty normal! 
At what ages did your baby;
Sit up, unsupported for longer than 2 seconds. 
Start crawling positions.
Start crawling. 
So far my baby girl does none of these. She also twirls her ankles and flaps her hands and has frontal bossing, large soft spot that is sometimes raised, and is under 50th percentile for weight as well as being a little stiffer on one side of her body. MRI was normal but I'm somewhat convinced its extremely mild cerebral palsy, about 10% arent detected by MRIs. My friends daughter has a similar case is now 13 and shes the one who gave me the idea. 
So I'd like to see if anyone else has any ideas I can bring up to her doctors?

Frontal Bossing

Answer

Those “milestones” of what should happen by a certain age are horrible, honestly. Children will reach the milestones when they’re ready to reach them! Just because they’re a bit behind the “average” doesn’t mean something is wrong. She’ll get there in her own time :)

Answer

I think every baby is different... the little girl I nanny since birth didn’t sit up until 7.5 months, crawled at 9, and walked just after a year. 
My baby is 5 months now. Started crawling at 4 months and is starting to sit unassisted for longer periods of time now. 
I hope you get the answers you need from the doctor. Try to keep in mind every baby is different! 💜

Answer

I’m not sure about a lot of the stuff you mentioned but can say my daughter did not crawl, nor did she ever get into crawling positions or transition from laying to sitting or sitting to standing. She could walk at a year but still couldn’t get into a sitting position if she was laying down and could not pull to a stand. We obviously were extremely worried but after 3 months seeing a PT twice a month (so 6 appointments total) she completely mastered all physical delays and then some. She just had loose joints and low muscle tone. She still tends to be a bit tentative with physical stuff but has impressed us so much with the strides she makes when compared with a year ago. She did not crawl until 18 months, long after she walked, but now she crawls through tunnels, etc on the playground with ease.

Answer

My son was sitting unsupported for the most part by about 7 months (I’d say it was around 6/6.5 months that he started doing it just for a few seconds). He never really got up into the crawling position. Only every once in a while. He started crawling at 10 months. Every baby is different. I don’t think it sounds like your LO is behind at all personally.

Answer

My first didn’t really crawl, she rolled everywhere, for a about a week she arm crawled before she mastered walking at 12m. She was sitting up around 5m and unsupported by 6m as we started solids right at 6m and I wouldn’t have if she wasn’t sitting unsupported yet. 
My second was sitting at 5.5 months and unsupported at 6.5 months as we did have to wait to start solids until then. He was crawling at 7m and walking at 10m.

Answer

My disghter is just a week short of being 6 months and is in crawling position. But not crawling, more pulling herself forwards.
Not sitting unsupported either as she has zero interest in that.

Answer

my 7 month old just started sitting a few weeks ago but has been crawling since 4.5 months. my 3.5 year old didnt sit up until 7 months old & my 4.5 year old never crawled
