Development

Looking for some advise/ reassurance … My little girl is nearly 8 months old, we don’t crawl or sit up, I’ve tried starting her on foods multiple times as she has no interest what so ever have tried all sorts of different foods/textures , sizing etc … she still has no teeth and no sign of them either … I feel like her development is really far behind ? Am I wrong ? Should I be worried … My first child was eating crawling, standing by her age …

My LO is 8 months soon too and still isn’t sitting, has no interest in standing, she’s just about rolling. She still hates tummy time. I’ve had the same worries about development and been told by family that I should be worried but I keep getting reassured by health professionals that every baby is different and works at their own pace.

I wouldn't worry, she will get there eventually. All babies develop at their own pace. It's so easy to compare to others at the same age especially when on this app you'll always read about babies doing more than yours but mines not sitting independently or standing yet and just recently in the last week or so had started crawling and he's turned 9m today. It doesn't worry me that he's not doing all these things as I know he will do it all in his own time xx

If she isn't able to sit, then she won't be ready for food yet. Teeth will come when they come. All children are different when it comes to when they get their teeth.

I wouldn’t worry, my little one didn’t start crawling until almost 9.5 months. Food is very hit and miss. Turning 1 soon and still no teeth. I was worried sick but I’ve reminded myself that every child is different xx
