Standing unassisted?
So my daughter is about to be 10 months in 5 days and isn’t pulling herself up yet… I know every baby is different. She also scoots instead of crawls, she keeps one leg forward the other back which also causes her front leg to get carpet burn so I’m always having her in pants. Does anyone have any advice on how to help her mover her leg back. I do it and most times, she just flops on her belly. She also just learned how to sit from tummy time position. Her pediatrician said she should start being able to pull herself up to a standing position now. So I practice standing with her. If she’s not doing it on her own in a few weeks then we’ll result into physical therapy which I’m all for it but was wondering if any mamas have any advice, thank you!

Wow that seems pretty early to me. A quick Google search says they're supposed to pull to stand between 7-12 months but that leaves gray area because that's still only an "average".

My baby doesn’t develop his motor skills fast. But I want him to start crawling on all fours before standing. Because it helps them to learn how to balance.
