Hi There,

My kid(boy) is 11 months old now and he has not started crawling or getting up on his own(& sit) on the bed. He doesnt stand with support(doesnt keep his hip stable). I am getting concerned and want to know if this is common. Most of the times he doesnt make much effort to reachout for things which can be collected with little stretching...

Please advice...

Regards,
Karthik. Shika replied. Hi there please see a good doctor and get the consulting so even you will fell less pressure and your family will also be happy to know that everything is normal and nothing to worry about it. Seema replied. Look Karthik there could be many reasons for your child not responding properly the major reason could be lack of proper food or sleep, please ensure that your child gets enough sleep and food so then only he can be active. Sarita replied. Hi even my son is of 10 months old and he is quite active and also tries to walk and even tries to jump all the time, its strange to hear that your child is not responding properly. Aruna replied. Hi there please do feel the stress and just go to the doctor and tell the doctor everything I'm sure the doctor will guide properly and your worry will turn into happiness, All the best. Arpita replied. Hi there please don't listen to anyone of us and just go your own doctor who delivered the baby and ask the doctor what is the matter and why your child is not responding quickly to things. Archana replied. hello karthik according to me you should not worry so much and enjoy the joy of being a parent and let time passes as the child we start walking and then you will be happy so just relax and wait for the right time. Anjali replied. Hi there even my child started walking at the age of two even we were very tensed about the situation but after consulting the doctor he said that its a common issue and nothing to worry about it. Anita replied. Hi there please be calm and relax as it happens sometime the child takes little time to start walking or crawling also but in your case the child should have started crawling if not walking. Amaira replied. Hi Karthik this is a serious issue and you should look into this matter very seriously as its concern with your own child and you cannot let things go, have a good consulting done by a good doctor. Aditi replied. Consult a good doctor immediately as this should not be ignored as it will cause a big issue if you let it go now, please seek doctors advice on immediate basis. Ankita replied. This is very weird try to make your child active it might happen that sometimes children develop late dont panic and just try to make your child active. Devdhar replied. This is weird for me as to what i know..babies start crawling after 8-9 months itself. May be your baby is a bit slow or lazy to make efforts so need not worry. I hope and wish that this should be the case. Arvind replied. You should be much worried. it is different in different kids. some pickup things faster some like to take things slowly. I myself started getting up afer 10 Months. so it is not at all a reason to be bothered about. Ara replied. The age at which a baby reaches milestones is different in case of different babies. Kindly consult pediatrician for a proper advice and get this problem resolved asap. I suggest that every kid is different and taking a risk will spoil there life . so please take care
