Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Hi! You didn't say how old Bobbi is so it's hard to say whether or not your daughter is actually that far behind. Attaining milestones is a very individual thing, and is different for each child. sat on his own, in a prone position around 14 months of age, and in an erect position around 15 months of age. A couple of months later he started pulling himself up to standing, but he didn't walk on his own until 21 months of age. We were told this was all due to low muscle tone. At age 33 months, he still cannot run or jump (getting two feet off the ground at the same time), but his is definitely starting to climb now.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Cornstarch can be added to the bottle at 1 year of age - before that you can use Polycose. I add 1 heaping tablespoon of cornstarch to my daughters bottle every night. How old is Bobbi? Jane, mom to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Dr. H told my pediatrician that it could be added between 9 & 10 mos and I believe the article from Dr. H says after 8 mos (don't have it in front of me but I think that is what it says).

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Briggitte, I think it really varies with RSS kids on what age they do things. Datreon began sitting up around 7 months, but he did recieve OT and PT since birth, and he just turned one and started walking a couple of days ago. If you are not recieving the OT and PT, I would definately recommend getting an evaluation. Hope this helps! le, mom to Datreon 15lb2oz, 26in, 1yr, periactin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
