16 months old not walking

Question

I know this group is for pregnancy related things 
But want to ask is there anyone who has 16 months old who didn’t Stand up yet .. she is quit active in everything but can’t stand straight 
We went to doc they took blood test for SMA but she has no other symptoms except not standing up  and we don’t have any history of this disease in our family 
I’m quite worried

Answer

I would recommend getting a referral to an pediatric occupational therapist to work with them one on one.

Answer

I have a walker for my son and it’s kind of helping. Not really. He is 15 months old in a few days and he’s not walking. He is cruising furniture though. We are in physical therapy for an unrelated illness and the one thing we are really working on is strengthening is core and his legs/glutes. Try to Google ways to do that. The best way? Let baby climb. Climb up stairs, climb over pillows or cushions, things like that. 💙❤️ 
SMA is an autosomal recessive disorder I believe. Meaning you and the father are carriers for it (you have one “normal” gene and one “sma” gene). There’s a 25% chance for baby to get both the “sma” genes resulting in sma.
