Baby standing/crawling

Standing at 8 months is wild!
You can't but a timeframe on development, stop pushing it is all I can say! He will do it in his own time

I get that but he is my 3rd baby and both of my girls…any my niece and nephews was all weight baring with help by 5-6 months, but yet my little boy just won’t put his feet on the floor at all

Boys are lazy, that's what they say. You shouldn't compare him to your other kids because honestly every child is different. Like for example my daughter is doing things alot more early than what my son did like I'm pretty sure she's gonna be crawling soon she's starting to push up on her knees more whereas my son he didn't crawl till 2 weeks before his first birthday. Dont stress yourself over it. Like my daughter is 8 months now and she isn't crawling or even sitting up unaided but yet I've done nothing but put her on the floor and even sit her up in-between some cushions on the floor. Like I know it's very disheartening when you see other kids develop so much faster but you can't put a time frame on it trust me. Like my son is 3 on the 30th coming up and he still isn't fully potty trained but im seeing many other parents who had it down within a few days my son has been naked from the waist down since November last year while in the house, still wears a nappy to bed and still wears a nappy when we go out.

You just can't put a time frame on development. If a child is delayed then they're delayed and there's help out there when you need it but this early on? Honestly I would give it a lot more longer to even consider it development delay

My little boy is 8 months and is not standing or crawling, my first son who is now 15 wasn’t doing that until 9 to 10 months. Just enjoy him not being on the move. Xx

My son had surgery at 3 months old and was in full leg casts from 12 days old and wears boots and bars to bed at night and he can stand when he’s probably the last child who should.

Yes it’s true every child develops differently but if this were me I’d be concerned that maybe his leg bones and muscles aren’t developing properly and maybe there’s a deeper issue.

It’s definitely worth talking to your paediatrician about but also asking them to check over his legs. Just to rule anything out.

I don’t think it’s worth panicking over but if you are worried, a paediatrician will be able to assist you in the right direction.

And if there’s no issue then you’ll be reassured that it’s normal and ok ☺️

I don’t think you are comparing him to other children I think you are seeing something you find relatively normal but not seeing it in your son and that’s ok.

You’re a mum and you’re going to worry when something doesn’t feel right.

Goodluck with everything 🤍

He’s still got another month or so to be sitting upright. That’s the range, but sometimes they fall outside the range and that’s ok! If you’re concerned I’d speak to your paediatrician.

finally someone who understands what I mean.
I was never saying I wanted him stood up on his own unaided as I know he shouldn’t be doing that right now, but he doesn’t weight bare at all on his feet and tucks his feet up to his bum the minute he is HELPED to stand up…
My first daughter was sitting up unaided at 3 months and walking at 9 and a half months and my second daughter was sitting at 6 and a half months but walked at 13 months. We struggled to get the girls to sit on our knees as they always wanted us to stand them up.

My boy won’t even do that and I wanted to know if I should be concerned, and now I feel like I’m made out to be expecting more of him then I should be and that’s not the case. Clearly been judged.

I know all babies go at there own stage but wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this with there baby who could give me some advice

I wasn't judging you at all, was trying to help and tell you my experience 🤷
