Gestures

Anyone’s babies not managing to do gestures yet? Trying to teach wave, clap, pointing and head shaking but no luck yet and nearly 10 months old - any tips? I do all the gestures slow and often throughout the day since he was about 5 months old… he can only do high 5😆

Mine can point and clap and kiiiind of wave but can’t shake head or high five or anything! I honestly think they’ll just do it when they do it 🤷🏽‍♀️ they’re all so different!

@Abi gestures are done before 12 months aren’t they I think? 2 months to practice ha!

@Bria haha I think some definitely are but I’m sure I’ve heard some are A while after 12 months!

Mine can clap and do a high five but no shaking head, pointing yet think they'll just do it in their own time...

Mine will wave, and she knows when to do it. Sometimes she shakes her head to say no. But she doesn’t clap or point at all

We’ve had head shaking for probably 2 months now it’s one of the first things she did and in context. She can wave and clap but only when she wants to😂no pointing yet but not entirely sure I want her to be pointing all the time I don’t want her to get used to pointing at things instead of saying them. No tips I’m afraid I was showing her them things for agesss before she decided to do it x

@Samina same as my little one ❤️

We've had a head shake or 2 (I think a fluke) but definitely got tilting her head to the side 🤣 no waving, clapping or pointing. They all do these things at there own rate so try not to worry too much x

Same situation here, my little boy doesn’t even say 👋🏻 and not actively walking, just kind of standing up but he needs support. I am worried 😟

@Rosita he crawling fine?? My boy only pulls on me currently not furniture and is sooo clingy as he’s ill but not waving pointing etc :/

@Rosita not walking at 9 months is defo normal? Walking at this age is verrrry early and rare

Guys I just looked it up and for pointing it says maybe bring up with a doctor if they aren’t doing it by 18 months so please don’t worry x

We gave zero gestures at all. I'm not concerned in the slightest.🥰

@Bria crawling not even a bit. He does push his feet and crawl backwards 😂

@Abi 😂😂😂 well not for everyone, but yes I guess he needs time
