Personal experience: If you notice a lack of babbling with or without vowels, the notes you need for a pediatrician are whether your baby is responding to sound, what sounds they do make if any, if your baby pays attention and watches you while speaking, and most importantly apparently, if your baby can respond to basic and/or complex verbal commands without relying on your hand movements like pointing. (ex.: if you say come here, they'll come over. If toys have certain names, asking them to give you the bunny without pointing at it and they can do so, etc.). In my case, I rarely babbled, but began speaking suddenly at the age of 2 in full sentences and having full conversations. Can't say it's typical, but the very rare times when they heard me make sounds, it was when no people were around in the middle of the night(thank god for baby monitors?), and I responded very well to basic verbal commands and closer to 12 months-1.5 years of age I was responding well to complex(for a toddler) verbal commands and questions. The pediatrician decided I was under observation, but based on other factors, worrying about the talking/babbling milestone was just under observation, until they couldn't get me to shut up.

Great video!! Super helpful! Do you know why they hold their arms back when held in standing? And what can be done to unstiffen it? Thank you!

Hi! Just after more information about the head tilt. My little boy is 6 months old, just learn to roll onto his tummy, whenever he is sitting or in the pram or high chair he does definitely have a head tilt. Not always obvious when lying down or tummy time abs can turn his head side to side well. Is this worth a physio appointment or should I encourage more tummy time? Thankyou!! Ps high chair video was super helpful as well as tummy time as he used to totally hate it

My baby is 23 weeks and hates tummy time. He can lift himself when he is on his tummy however, we have to motivate him to do so. He hasn’t rolled yet but he loves sitting independently and being on his feet when held. I don’t know what more to do to encourage him to spend more than 5 min on his tummy without whimpering ( he’s fine sleeping on his tummy) Also he’s been great meeting other milestones in good time.

What does it mean if they easily roll back to tummy (supposed to be harder?) but usually get stuck when trying to roll tummy to back? He doesn't seem to get that he needs to tuck his shoulder in

Do you recommend infant head protectors for crawling and walking

So glad to hear that!

My baby is 7 months old. He rolls both ways, has good head control, grabs toys, passes them from hand to hand, brings everything to his mouth, says dada, no head lag, grabs his feet when laying on his back. Sits well for 5-10 mins but when he chooses to fall out of sitting he doesn't extend his arms to catch himself. He will just slow-mo into a side tummy roll and get into tummy time position. He enjoys tummy time, tho he doesn't roll often. He is a very content and easy going baby, he will play with his favorite toys in one position just happy as can be. It is actually a challenge to encourage him to roll, but when he wants to, he can go across a room without any struggle. BUT he is not bearing weight on his arms yet. In tummy time he keeps his head up and will have his elbows on the ground but he hardly ever pushes up thru his elbows. He is bringing his knees up and even getting into a bit of downward dog position like to crawl but without arms. So he is like trying to slide across the floor on his chest. He keeps his arms tight at his body often when sitting, unless he is actively reaching for a toy. like he feels like he will fall over if he relaxes them maybe? When I prompt him into positions to practice weight bearing on his arms like placing him over my legs he also keeps his arms contracted and doesn't want to put his hands down on the floor to bear weight. Is this something to be concerned about? He was an 11lb baby and is in the %100 for length and like %96 for head size, so he is also a big boy.

My baby still hates tummy time at 4.5 months old. I know he can push himself up all the way on his arms, and hold his head up in a tummy position, and sometimes he will do this for a decent amount of time if you get him in the right mood. He will occasionally hold himself up on his elbows, but it’s usually an arms forward position. He has begun reaching for things in front of him recently. BUT most Often he moves his arms out to the sides or to the back/ some other unsupportive position and just burries his face and gets angry until you roll him over (sometimes he rolls/ flips himself). He can roll himself side to side, sometimes from tummy to back, but not back to tummy. Any advice? Or just keep trying? I am afraid he’s going to skip crawling if he doesn’t become comfortable with tummy time.

Oh and I started putting him for tummy time in front of a window that is open. Best tummy time hack for me. He could actually spend 10 minutes or so like that at a time.

For a while the crawling and walking looked a bit odd, because she kept her legs quite wide apart, but now she is almost 3 years old and a very active and agile girl.

My daughter just turned 6months a few days ago and I’m concerned. She’s just now starting to grab for her bottle and hold it for a few seconds. I’m more concerned with the fact that she has floppy arms and she doesn’t sit up. I’ve picked her up and have seen her sitting straight up in daycare but when she gets home she just becomes limp and she doesn’t sit up she falls over. My daughter is no vaxed so I’m hoping that’s not why. If so then it will be proof enough to why children may need to be.

@Meerkat628

For motor skill concerns, before seeing the pediatrician, find out from the daycare how she moves/plays as well so you have the full picture for the doctor. Vaccines or lack thereof have nothing to do with development. Vaccines only purpose is to prop up the immune system so your baby has immune protection against awful things like measles, tetanus(locks up your muscles, bacteria found in soil, rust, etc.), diphtheria(highly contagious can cause blood infections), whooping cough(highly contagious, can be fatal for infants and toddlers), meningitis(bacteria going to the brain) and other nasty stuff. Not getting vaccines increases the risk of serious injury or death from sicknesses that can be highly contagious and easily spread around by anyone who isn't vaccinated or could not be vaccinated(example: severely allergic to one or more of the vaccines)

My son was born 7 weeks early and I never know if he is behind on things due to his age or if he is actually behind. Right now, my biggest concern is crawling. He is ;nearly 9 months old but has yet to crawl forward. He will lay on his belly and play with toys. Sometimes he will push himself backwards and/ or turn but no actual crawling. I just don’t know if I should be worried at this point or not. He also hardly rolls over. He can roll from front to back but I have never seen him roll from back to front. The child will contort his body so that he is practically looking at something upside down and he can roll on his side but he cannot go all the way over. Should I be concerned?

Hi @C Ewe as your little one was born 7 weeks early it’s important to use his corrected age when looking at developmental milestones. It’s normal for babies to start crawl after 9 months or age. So there is no need to be concerned. In regards to rolling over, we would hope they can roll over by 7 months. But given his corrected age would be around 7 months or just a few weeks off I wouldn’t be concerned.

Everything else you mentioned in your video she is fine with. She's only just starting to be motivated by toys so I'm hoping this is what has been holding her back. The doctor said her muscle tone was fine but unfortunately there are insufficient midwives in the area to do an in person 6 month checkup. I'm worried because this is my first child and I don't know anyone whose child took more than 6 months to roll. Any advice, reassurance, other things to look out for?

My 6 month old puts one arm 'always' (very often) back next to the side of his body while doing tummytime. Is that a red flag? He's doing tummy time mostly in his box with toys together. He's using both hands though mostly while playing. Is his putting arm back an indication of lack of tummytime? Is it wrong to let him do that in the box? He rolls from belly to back sometimes, but somehow is not interested to do the other way around.. when we put down a toy in distance he wants it, then loses interest because he can't reach it. I believe he is waiting that we give it to him...

Movements shouldn't be stiff, look like they are "locked" in place. They should start to recognize that they have a lower body. When they stand you can usually tell by whether or not they try and bounce up and down or if they seem to not realize they have a lower body yet. When that happens they will use their upper body muscles to help keep them up, instead of starting to use their core and legs. Their upper body will also lean forward and not align at all with their hips. Simply put, 6 month old babies should start to move using their entire body and not be stiff or ridged. Reaching for toes, toys, without tense muscle movements.

Can stand with support, but if I try him to stand and hold in our sofa or tv rock, his knees are folding and not that strong enough. I'm not sure why :?(

What do we do if the baby does stiff legs and arms out stiff on the regular? I just started in the littles room at a daycare. We have a 5 month old that does this.

Hi Emma, my baby keeps her legs stiff when put in standing position. She is almost 6 months. I see you mentioned it is a red flag, do I need to take her right away to a pediatrician or wait and see ?

Hi @Meg if her arms and legs are stiff when you hold her in standing then I would check in with the Pead. But if it her legs are only stiff when you hold her in standing (so not stiff when she is lying on the ground or when held in sitting) then I would wait, as she may just be straightening her legs when held in standing to give herself more postural support. Hope that makes sense.

Hi Emma, I would very much appreciate if you can reply to my comment. I really need your help. Firstly, thank you for this video, it was really informative and helpful. I have a 6 month old who is suddenly very fussy. She was okay weeks ago and then boom… 6 month came and now she’s more difficult than ever. At 5 months, she was the most sociable baby ever, very smiley and happy. Nothing has changed so Idk what’s wrong. She would scream even if I leave her for just a minute. Can I just ask why it’s a red flag if they’re fussy for no apparent reason?

Hi @Thie C. it sounds like your little one was very settled and happy a few weeks ago. I wouldn't be concerned as your little one might be a little unsettled recently for a few reasons: - She could be teething - She could be getting sick or recovering for an illness - Or most likely she could be experiencing separation anxiety. So she might now know that you exist even when you are not in a room and this is causing her to scream if you leave her for a few seconds. This new skill is frustrating but it is a huge cognitive leap! Hope that helps!

Hi @Vittie Lowenstein if you have heard your son make agoos and gagaaas than that is great. It is totally ok if he chooses to make excited noises instead. At 6 months bub's start blowing raspberries, smiling, screaming and plus lot more to gain your attention, it doesn't always have to be by babbling.

Actually, according to CDC, proper babbling like “bababa”, “dadada” is a 9 month milestone nowadays, but babies should be able to conect some consonants with vocals at 6 months. My baby doesn’t do proper babbling or clear vocals, but occasionally I hear a : “ba”, “ma”, “am”, “bue”, “de”. One of the milestones at 6 months is that they take turns making sounds with you…which my baby doesn’t and I find concerning…he is often irritable for no aparent reason (actually, mostly he wants to be held up) and is not as social..more serious baby. Could it be temperament instead?

Generally it’s a red flag for a developmental delay. Basically it triggers further investigation to see if there is an underlying cause for the delay or if the bub just needs a little more help to catch up.

Hi Emma; we spoke a few months back about my daughter and how she wasn't rolling yet. I watched your video's and we have floor and tummy time daily but she is now 7 1/2 months old. She can grab her feet, loves tummy time and sits unsupported (can't get there herself and doesn't really use arms to catch when tumbling --- try's to get into sitting by lifting head.... looks like she is doing crunches lol) But she is still not rolling over either from back to front or front to back. Pediatrician looked at her in tummy time and sat her in sitting at her 6 month check up; he said her muscle tone is okay and he thinks she'll be crawling soon. Should I mention getting an PT appointment at her 9 month appointment?

Hi, just to give you my experience, my son was pretty much like your daughter. He could sit unsupported at arround 6 months but was not rolling, and didn’t seem interested in rolling. No problem with muscle tone either. Then at 7 / 7,5 months old he started trying and figured it out really quickly. As soon as he knew how to roll, he started crawaling on all fours and can now sit by himself. He’s gonna be 9 months old in a week. It all came super quickly and almost all at once. He now tries to stand every chance he gets. I was getting worried just like you when he reached 7 months old and was not rolling. But I read multiple times that rolling usually comes between 4 and 8 months old, so I knew it was okay for now. Have you tried placing a toy she loves next to her face, at eye level, at a distance where she can reach it only if she goes on her side ?

Same question here. My baby is 5 months old and seem to be not so interested to do tummy time more so to roll over, he rarely does sidelying. He loves bouncing his legs though. Update: Just a week before my baby turned 6 months, he started rolling over. He is now turning 7 months old and he could roll over on both sides, many times in a day. I personally realized that every baby is different and has each their own timing when to achieve a certain milestone. I cant wait for him to crawl hence I respect his timeline n. There is no need to pushing him.

They show affection by smiling at you when you talk to them, cooing or babbling (so making sounds when you are close by). Giggling when you do something they find funny. Just general interest in people. Hope that helps!

Hi @Adisa Kola it is not unusual for newborns to have a head preference, but we do want to encourage newborns to look in both directions to prevent positional torticollis and positional plagiocephaly. I have a video which you might find helpful as I outline ways that you can encourage your little one to look in both directions. Here is the link:kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2h7pLFpptevZNo.html If after doing these activities, your little one continues to tilt their head to the right all the time I would pop into the doctor who can see him in person and provide advice.

My five month old baby is chesting out

My son is almost 6 months. He’s on tummy almost all the time, hates to be on his back and always rolls over. I noticed that he puts all his weight on the right arm only and grabs toys with his left hand. Even when you touch his arms, you can feel the difference in muscles. Plus, his right leg is a bit lazy in comparison to the left. It’s stiff pretty often as well. We’ve seen two doctors already and they both said that they didn’t see any issues. “It’s behavioural”. Do you have any advice on how to advocate for my son? “I saw on KZread” is what makes them laugh all the time

Hi @Laia Ferrer Argemi because I cannot see your son I cannot say if he has torticollis. Typically bubs at this age do not have a dominant hand. But is it important to note, that bubs at this age do not reach across their body (cross the midline) to grab a toy. So if the toy was positioned on the left then they would use the left hand to grab the toy and if the toy was positioned on the right then they would use the right hand. Throughout the day start placing toys on either side of your bub's body and see which hand he grabs the toy with. If he is only using the left hand to grab the toy and play with it then I recommend you pop into an occupational therapist or physiotherapist. Hope that isn't too confusing.
