So my son is 4 months he’ll be 5 months on the 19th and people keep telling me it’s not normal that he isn’t rolling from belly to back yet. Should I be worried? He was born when I was 29 weeks so I figured when he’s about 6 months he would start but now I’m worried because everyone’s bringing it to my attention.
Has the pediatrician told you to go by the adjusted age for milestones? You would go by his actual 40 week due date.
Yes she has and I have been but everyone who comes to see him and family as well keeps telling me that he should be rolling already he’s 18lbs so they say he’s big enough for a 4 month old so he should be doing everything normally
There are not set milestones when it comes to babies growth. Even doctors sometimes rush babies to develop so fast that they stress parents out. If your baby is healthy and there is no health concerns dismiss what people tell you. Let your child grow in his own pace.
My son didn't speak 50 words at 3 years and doctors even told me he needed speech therapy. I refused. He is now 10 and been 3 years straight in spelling bee contest and won. Believe in your baby and your mommy intuition. You are doing your best!🙂
I’ve been trying to not stress because I know he’ll grow at his own pace he’s been doing great so far when it’s tummy time he lifts his head nice and tall he kicks a lot and everything so I didn’t worry until this week since we’re moving a lot of family has been coming to see us and everyone’s telling me he should be rolling over but I know he’s doing great
@bcharron12 Then trust that. If you see he is doing great don't pay any mind to what family has to say.🙂
I wouldn’t worry at all, he was a premie and like other mamas said all babies are different. & early babies move at their own pace. My son was born at the end of 36 weeks and took him a little longer to do certain things
My son was born bang on 40 weeks and didn’t roll over until he was 7 months. Every baby is different and a preemie baby may be different again. Don’t worry yourself, I’m sure he’s doing just fine.
All babies develop at different rates. There is no set schedule for development programmed into every child. They will reach their milestones when they are ready. My 5m old is rolling from back to belly and belly to back but my toddler didn't start until 6m.
He was born really early mama, he might take a little longer than a full term baby. He will get it ❤
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
People don't understand preemie life unless they've lived it. Don't listen to them
