Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Anyone out there have a kid-o that is 9 months and not crawling yet? He can turn himself well and sometimes does the butt-scootch, on his belly he will roll to get to places, he will push way up on his arms, no knee activity yet! He will even reach until he is all the way over but that booty won't come off the floor! Just curious to know if it's a torticollis/plagio thing - can't help but think to relate to that stuff. I am happy I can quick leave a room and come back to know he will be right there - I should count my blessings he isn't mobile yet, I know! But just wanted to throw this out there. I hope you are all well. We are almost done with the helmet - 2 more full time weeks, then 2 part time weeks then done! He had amazing results, quick. He started wearing at 5 months and he is almost done. Awesome... blessed! Ok, will sign off. Can't wait to hear from you all.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hi there- I don't believe it's related. My daughter did the rolling thing and didn't crawl until she was 9-10 months old, and she didn't have tort or plagio. My son, who did have both, military crawled for months and didn't get up on his knees until 11 months old. All babies crawl in different ways and at different rates. I suppose if you got to 12 months or older and he still wasn't crawling or pulling up, that would be a concern. But I think you're fine for now. Hopefully he'll start really crawling in the next month or so. Glad you're almost done! Please post an update and photos when he's graduated. We don't have too many moms using the cranial helmet from Michigan and it will be great to have for reference.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hi , My daughter was good with all her milestones, and crawled with her bottom up about 8.5 mo. Before that she did the soldier crawl with her arms starting at 7 mo. She walked by 10 mo, which is pretty early, and started walking around the same time. I don't think your son is behind at all from how you describe things. -christine sydney 2.5 yrs starband grad > > Anyone out there have a kid-o that is 9 months and not crawling yet?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 i wouldnt think it is related, my plagio babyw as crawling at 6 mo whereas my nephew didnt start crawling till 11 months (and walked shortly thereafter), just different ranges of normal On Sat, Jul 26, 2008 at 5:45 PM, hfix2002 <hfix2002@...> wrote: Anyone out there have a kid-o that is 9 months and not crawling yet?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi, I think it might be related to lack of tummy time. My daughter did not do much tummy time, which I believe contributed to her plagiocephaly. As a result, she did not gain as much upper body strength. She started to commando crawl at 9 1/2 months and finally started crawling normally at 11 months. It sounds like your son is gaining strength in his upper body, so hopefully should start at least commando crawling soon.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I had the same concerns as you have now. All kids meet milestones at certain times. I have been told by many moms, both on this board and off, "don't compare your baby to other babies". My son is almost 8 months and not doing anything even remotely close to crawling. I asked at Pt and they told me that they are not concerned, due to the fact that he is very strong. My son has a strong desire to walk. He pulls up on us and is trying to pull up on the furniture. It is hard not to compare, especially ehen you hear of other kids crawing or talking at this age. I will just keep working with him. Your right about counting your blessings. My son does have 6 teeth already....not normal for his age. Good Questions. Thanks for posting! mom to Bryce (7 months), 9 weeks in Starband...very soon to graduate!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 My daughter is definitely a late bloomer. She is 8 1/2 months old and has no desire what so ever to walk, crawl, or even roll over. She is content with sitting and playing all day. When I took her to the doctor they said she was fine, that everyone does things at different ages. So...we are just sitting back waiting for the day she decides she is going to do something.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 The doctor said that since she has been sitting up since she was 5 months old he wasn't concerned. I do believe that if she really wanted to she would...but she chooses to just sit around and do nothing. she has been diagnosed with plagiocephaly but has not been banded because the doctor hasn't recommended it. I know 9 mos is a little late but that is when I was planning on pushing the issue. We live in Germany and since houses aren't equiped with A/C I felt that it would be too hot during the summer to band her. Our house stays around 80 degrees during the summer and i didn't think she could handle it...I know I have a real hard time with. So...we are almost at the 9 month mark and i guess I better get my butt in gear. when I go I am going to ask for a CT scan and for PT. I know there is a place in Barcelona and England. I haven't decided where I am going to take her yet. I might be easier for me to take time off from my job and move to the states for that time. I haven't decided yet. Thanks for your input. Toni From: barinm@... <barinm@...>Subject: Re: CRAWLINGPlagiocephaly Date: Tuesday, July 29, 2008, 10:17 AM Delay in milestones with any child, but particularly with those who already have a diagnosed condition such as torticollis or plagiocephaly, must be attended to. I am surprised that a PT is not addressing delays as mentioned in another post. A child of 9 months not rolling is delayed by nearly 50% and in this country that is a factor that makes them eligible for early intervention treatment for a reason. There are valuable component skills that are developed with rolling, crawling, etc that contribute to later skills or the coordination that we see in later skill development or the appearance of later skills. I suggest a call to your local child find, early intervention, etc for an evaluation. Walsh, RPTPediatric Developmental Physical Therapist The Famous, the Infamous, the Lame - in your browser.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 My son is 11 months and gets around completely on his stomach (not true crawling with his tummy off the floor). I asked the ped who said it perhaps -- along with his head issues -- came from lack of tummy time. I also think it's because we don't have carpeting in our house. When my son is on our comfy bed, he comes up on his knees and does downward-dog position (for those of you who know yoga) no problem. I have read that babies adjust their crawling styles to suit floor surfaces, so that's probably it too. But I have to think that wearing a helmet would have an effect on development, too, since it adds extra weight, cuts peripheral vision, makes you overheat easily, etc. > > Anyone out there have a kid-o that is 9 months and not crawling yet?

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 My son is just over 2 and he didn't start crawling until 3 days after his first birthday. He sat up on his own very early but had no interest in doing anything else. He had a very laid back personality at that age. We have our first appt. with a neurosergeon Aug. 11 to get a diagnosis. His right side is very flat. I read alot of the same thing. I have been wondering if they are related since reading everyone elses stories. Caleb has not had a helmet, but should of had one. He did though walk at 14 months. Re: Crawling My son is 11 months and gets around completely on his stomach (not true crawling with his tummy off the floor).
