I am a worrywart mom. My daughter and I share the same birthday. Our little one already sits, crawls, stands with support, and babbles. But my own baby, however, does not sit up on his own yet: when you place him in a seated position, he sits there confidently. He doesn’t crawl and doesn’t seem to try; he wants to stand, but his bottom is too heavy and it doesn’t work. And there’s no speech at all. On Monday I want to schedule another appointment with a neurologist. I understand that every child develops at their own pace, but it’s a bit worrying…

Не ползает вообще никак?

Ну ещё время терпит, но к неврологу сходите, может курс массажа пропишет, чтобы подтолкнуть развитие
Aleksandra Muraveva
Margarita Ну, максимум назад по-пластунски...
Elena
К хорошему неврологу обязательно. Массаж делали/делаете?
Aleksandra Muraveva
mika sofa До этого ходила, сказали все нормально. Но, изменений никаких не увидела. Наверное правда нужен массаж.
Aleksandra Muraveva
Elena Месяца полтора назад были у платного невролога, сказала все отлично. Но изменений нет, поэтому думаю надо повторно идти на приём
Komarova Elena
Идите к неврологу, может нужен массаж, электрофорез, бассейн
Aleksandra Muraveva
Komarova Elena Спасибо 🙏

My son sat up at 9 months, stood with support by about 10 months, and he never crawled—only rarely and a little army-crawling. He started walking at 1 year and 1 month, and later he began crawling on his knees. I panicked about everything to an extreme degree. I visited several clinics, and all the doctors told me, in unison, that every child is an individual and that everything is normal with ours.

Margarita Go to a neurologist; it's still too early for you to sit up, but you should already be crawling—not just belly-crawling, but on all fours. I think the mother is panicking appropriately.

Margarita We never crawled, not really—just rarely, and even then only in a belly crawl. Everything’s normal; the doctors say that every child is an individual.

Lyubov Yes, of course—it's fine; every child is different. My lazy little one did nothing until he started walking. Don't get yourself worked up. The doctor told you not long ago that everything is normal, and they told us the same. On the moms' forum, though, people scare others with horror stories. We didn't crawl at all—just like you, we did a little belly-crawling and mostly moved backward. But you still have everything ahead of you.

Yes, and he’ll be starting work for her soon.

Lyubov And at what age did he start pronouncing syllables?

Lyubov Even after a year, our child still has a slight speech delay.
We’re working with a speech-language pathologist.
Our child is 3 years old.

Margarita Please avoid seating a child if you’re not seated properly yourself.
It’s important that the musculoskeletal framework develops correctly.
The child should sit on the sit bones (ischial tuberosities), not on the coccyx; sitting on the coccyx can lead to slouching.

And what is a neurologist supposed to do? Prescribe a magic pill? You have older children—compare the younger child with them. If you want to help the younger child, gently encourage crawling. And keep talking to your child.

Margarita Well, I went to a neurologist. We didn’t just sit around, and another neurologist, due to muscle tone, prescribed Cortexin, etc. We then visited the head of a good pediatric neurology clinic that works specifically with sick children; they did examinations, etc. This neurologist told me that there’s nothing to be scared about if the child isn’t sitting yet; the important thing is that the child crawls, because crawling works both the left and right hemispheres, especially on all fours. Doctors are all different; you should always see different ones. If everything is going well for you, that’s wonderful, but there are children who aren’t so lucky, and they’re even told on the Internet that everything is fine, and in the end they waste their precious time!

My little one sat up at 7 months, crawled around 8 months, began standing with support at 9–10 months, and has only recently started to say syllables.

Svetlana Vladykina Don't worry—everything is individualized. If something were wrong, a neurologist would have noticed.

Massage should help. At this age, the child should be able to sit up and crawl, of course.

Are you sure you have three children? It's strange that you're surprised that children don't grow up according to a template.

mika sofa Anyway, it won't hurt to have it done. I take my daughter to my massage therapist every two months so that the therapist herself can examine her. It's better to be safe than sorry, as they say.

yuliya yakubova I definitely have a third child, and for a moment there’s a 10–15-year age gap.

Aliya The younger child is 10 to 15 years younger than the others. A neurologist should explain what is normal and, if needed, recommend massage or another treatment if there is a deviation. And of course you know best—am I suggesting stimulation, or am I just talking? You are the expert, after all.

Margarita We've visited many clinics in Yekaterinburg and Nalchik. They spoke to us in loud voices, saying he wasn't crawling and that he might crawl later. My son did crawl, but only a few times after he started walking, and it didn't seem to interest him. Online, people say everything is fine, as you often hear. I once posted that the baby wasn't crawling, and I was met with fear-mongering responses that were completely unnecessary. They talked about muscle tone and urged urgent massages, but we never had any muscle-tone issues, and no massage was prescribed. Doctors say children are very lazy and watch a lot of cartoons before age one, etc.

Margarita Which cartoons are suitable for an eight-month-old? This concerns the author. If you became so frightened, why did you visit doctors? It’s not wise to listen to everyone. Are you a doctor? Have you seen the author's child? You probably don't know anything about her delivery either. People write to the author asking her to see a doctor, and that doctor will tell her what to do, but saying that your experience—that everything was fine—means that others are fine as well is not a conclusion worth making.

Lyubov
Margarita The author wrote that they had seen a doctor and that everything was normal. Doctors aren’t fools; if there had been anything wrong, they would have suspected it immediately.

Margarita And I don't jump to conclusions; I support the author and am confident that everything is going well for them.

Margarita Sometimes it's helpful to hear the opinions of more than one doctor, since a single doctor may not be fully competent.
