When to worry milestones

I think your worrying too much. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, all babies are different they all learn at different rates it will come eventually 😘. But the more you think about it and worry about it the harder you try and sometimes that can have a bad effect. One day she might even just pick it all up out of the blue! Haha. It will come ❤️ x

If you’re worried, I’d push for early intervention. Can you see a different pediatrician in the practice for a second opinion? I’m not super up on milestones at that point since I have a 2 month old, but I know waiting too long doesn’t make things easier if there’s actually something going on. I was talking to a pediatric OT at a class. She strongly encourages early intervention or at least early evaluation as it saves time in the long run

thank you i feel that doctors think im crazy saying she might catch up and she still has time until 18 months but its just the way she does things i find that she seeks sensory stimulation a lot she scratches carpets she rubs walls if she frustrates she smacks her head with both hands also when she gets upset from crying she gets a rash on her face everytime not sure if anything connected but yeah

i live in Canada unfortunately it’s really hard to get a pedietrician we didn’t get her ped until she was 7 months old .. i called a LOT of places from speech therapist to doctors etc all saying they rather wait until 18 months

I’d like to add also that she was late for blowing kisses but started doing it yesterday if i tell her to go sit down for bottle she climbs her stairs to the couch and go sit she understands a lot of commands when I talk to her she is smart but a bit behind on certain things

that’s reassuring wow thank you xxx she’s been cruising for a long time but few days ago started holding onto me and let’s go for few seconds to stand without support :)

So we were automatically signed up for PT at 3 months bc of birth defects. And our LO didn't start walking until 19m. They said they don't worry until about 18m. It sounds like your LO has all the precursors (which my LO had) for walking, she just needs the confidence. Her physical therapist suggesting having some supportive shoe time as it can help stabilize the kiddo (just make sure they are wide toed and have actual support not like Crocs or Sandals)

As for talking, according to the guidelines they don't need to make more than 3 words and sounds that don't sound like words but she says repeatedly for the same object is a word
