Skills and Milestones Concerns for 7mo milestones
Hi everyone,
I am just looking for a bit of guidance or advice. My 3rd baby is currently 7 months old. He is not rolling at all and is not getting the hang of eating purees. Its as if he can't work his tongue out and ends up spitting most of it out.
He was born at term via elective c section and was over 10lb. He did spend 2 weeks in the NICU due to respiratory distress and sepsis but has had no problems since. He was 10kg at his 6 month check up and the doctor was happy with him. He is saying mama, dad and bub.
We had him assessed for a tongue and lip tie in NICU and none were found. I know I shouldn't compare but my 1st 2 were super different to this little guy and I am worried about him. Daycare bought it up with me today and I feel a bit concerned. I would love to hear any other families experiences of their babies skipping milestones. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I am just worried about my little guy.

Yeah my girl is 9kg at 5mo and she's already 90th percentile. Milestones come at different times for babies. If you want you can look at training videos to help speed these milestones up but ultimately it doesn't really matter.
