This is Amelia she is almost 6 months and she can stand on her feet ,flat and she started doing this at 3 months it's just crazy,her attention span is in unusally long I did explain this to a doctor when she had a check up she is well focused for her age she could sit and stare at someone for more than an hour and not be phased she loves it ,it's generally quite fasanating but I generally think she's gifted ,and shes awake for more than 5 hours at a time during the day ...she started to get really strong to the point she left bruises on my chest from kicking me so hard It was funny but now I think it's a habit š¤£

Have her evaluated by a PT & OT for hypertonia. Sounds like she has muscle tone issuesā¦. Being extremely advanced in development is just as bad as being delayed.. thereās something abnormal going on with the body to cause that⦠definitely a red flag if sheās super ahead of milestones like youāre saying.

Ours stands too and has the biggest proud smile, it's so adorable! She started pulling to sit at 8w and pulling to stand at 3m, I've never seen it before š¤Æ
Do you think she will end up walking early?
Btw hypertonia shows as a stiff baby, ours had some tension post birth (like pretty much every baby), but it's all gone now

all of the things you described are usually with kids who are delayed - kids do develop at different rates - let her be a proud mummy ! Trust me , mums know when there is something wrong with their kids. Holly - Well done to your little girl ! :) donāt let other people to dime your light ;)

Ours is exactly the same. My little one can stay awake / focused on something for hours. Sheās been standing since 3 months (with our support), is really strong when pushing/ kicking against you. Sheās been sat up for a while now but can now pull herself into sitting position and sheās trying to crawl! They warned us about these post pandemic babies š¤£

no it's okay it's not that ,it's been ruled out for hypertonia has muscle and bone issues run on my partners side we did get all the checked out she's absolutely fine it's just crazy how strong she is thats all ,my mum has 5 kids and when I had my baby she noticed that she is an advanced baby but she doesn't have those issues I think I'd notice if there was something wrong as I'm extremely aware and attached to her š

yes I did hear about this š¤£and I had COVID before and during my pregnancy this little one definitely used to the crazyness š¤£

our little one started to hold a bottle at 8 weeks old š

and thank you for making more nervous as a first time mum to my last baby š

that's good practice for helping you wish shopping bags later šš

honey my son has dystonia as well as hypertonia. I absolutely know what I am talking about, Iāve lived this. If her child is āfreakishly strongā thatās not normal and should be looked at. My son has never been delayed.

wow š„“šš»

it's not normal my child strong..what the hell stop freaking other mums out š

Awww what a clever baby!!! You shoukd be so proud. My little lady is also very strong but yours sounds amazing xxxx

thank you š
