Lazy baby?

I’m a little concerned with my daughter’s physical development. She’s just turned 10 months and has always hated tummy time. She just cries and struggles to keep her head up. She also struggles to keep her weight on her legs when I hold her up and she just flops which makes me think she just doesn’t have the strength. She has only rolled a handful of times (unintentionally!) and can sit unaided quite happily, but obviously shows no signs of being anywhere near crawling or standing. I’m struggling to get my health visitor out but does anyone know if osteopathy would help and if this is available on the nhs, or could anyone recommend anyone private in the northwest uk? Thank you 🥹

My little one is nearly 1 and isn’t crawling hates Tummy time. Will only role occasionally. Babies do things in their own time when their ready try not to stress xx

Hey my boy was around 9 months and i took him for osteopathy massage and alongside the homework they give after 2 sessions he was comfortably rolling with ways and started moving a lot better . I would say it's worth it . I went beacuse he would only use one side more than the other and he was a breech baby so had loads of tension x

Your baby isn't lazy and i hate ppl saying that about kids when they come to something later. My daughter only started crawling at about 10 months and she also hated tummy time and barely rolled. You're well within the realms of normal still

They all do things in their own time and sometimes they skip steps. My son never really did tummy time and he never really rolled. If she sits up happily then I wouldn’t worry about that. With the crawling again she’ll do it in her own time but I used to put toys just out of reach of him so he would have to lean forward to get them. With standing she still has loads of time. If you’re worried you could definitely ask someone to see her even for peace of mind but she sounds like she’s ticking along all right but you’re mum and you know best x

I wouldn’t be too concerned (I know that’s easier said than done!) my second was super lazy too, didn’t crawl until 13 months and started walking at 18 months! She’s just going at her own pace ☺️

She's ok, one day she will just start doing these things and you'll be on to worrying about the next thing. Take heart, Mama!

My daughter didn't walk until 17.5 months. She barely crawled until she was 1 and even then it was an army crawl until about 14 months. Try not to worry mama

Ask your pediatrician for a physical therapist evaluation for babes (I'm in the US, not sure how UK healthcare works) but hopefully a PT should help you out
