Baby boy is 8 months old now nearly nine months . He was 2 months early however he can’t sit up on own he doesn’t crawl yet

My baby boy was 2 months early too, he's nearly 10 months now and still not sitting without help or crawling, and I think it's only ever me worrying, when others say their babies can do this or that, they are more likely to tell me they wish their baby was taking a bit longer to crawl because I have more freedom leaving the room etc. I am right there with you with the worry but he can reach for things on his tummy and is starting to strain, and he's getting better at sitting with help recently. I think it's just baby temperament rather than a preemie thing, his cousin was slower at milestones too. You're doing amazing ❤️❤️❤️

Thankyou! 🥹🩵

I have twins that were 5 weeks early and I always noticed a bit of a difference (they’re 2.5 now). I’d say they were typically a couple of months behind their friends but as they’ve gotten older you’d never know! Also, they both did things at different times too. There was about 4 months between them both walking for example so I think it’s also a temperament thing. Your baby was here so early so don’t worry at all - I also have a baby the same age as yours and he’s only just sitting up. He was born just before his due date. It’s really hard not to compare but really try not to. All babies are so different 💕

Honestly I am so glad you have posted this, my son is 9 months (7 corrected) he is not crawling or sitting up on his own, however does roll about on the mat. I really try my hardest to not compare him to my first born who was full term but it’s so hard not to. He is not bothered about food yet either, just hoping he does catch up 🩵

I pray for us both that it happens soon 🩷🩵

Babies do things in their own time. Don’t panic it will just happen one day. They are very surprising, don’t stress and don’t let feel judged your doing an amazing job mama 🫶🏻

Thankyou 🙏🏼🩵🩷
