@stacy11 Thanks for sharing! Is he standing alone yet or no? That seemed to be what our pediatrician was most worried about. But after reading all these posts it looks like it’s not something to stress about at all.

@photonfanatic Thank you!! I actually suspected torticollis way early on because he could seem to turn his head to one side for awhile but then it resolved so I thought maybe I was overthinking it. And he didn’t pull to stand until around 12 months

Also want to add he was born term but a little early at 37.6 weeks

@romans_5 I understand that. Just looking for some help on here and the replies have been super super helpful for me so I’m glad I posted this. I was told to wait for PT to reach out to me, and they are just taking forever. Our healthcare system is just that way. I’ll keep trying and calling...

@revdstephen Thank you for this advice. He shows some interest in stairs at the playground but we don't have any stairs at home so I will try taking him to other places with stairs. That totally makes sense! As far as walkers we have the vtech walker and some balance bikes and a ride on train.

@minimonkey Thank you!!

@empower Okay makes sense. Thanks so much :)

@empower Thank you! our pediatrician said she was concerned mainly because he's not able to stand alone (without leaning on something), was your daughter standing alone early on or closer to when she started walking?

@ella_inc This is encouraging to hear

@wug I didn't mean "just" as in she did nothing- I really appreciate her referral. And I am hoping it will help when they reach out and I get to make an appointment. My anxious brain was just looking for her to say "it's totally fine dont worry etc etc." In the meantime I'm having all this...

@foxhound21136 Thank you!! Is he able to stand alone (without leaning on or holding something)? That seemed to be what my pediatrician was mostly concerned about.

@cpo Thank you! He does hold onto my hand and take some steps but only for a few seconds, and then bends his knees and wants to crawl. I feel like I am forcing him when I offer my hand or try to assist him to walk. But I do keep trying to offer- I just dont want to push him if he doesn't want...

I know this can be “normal”. But he is also not standing independently (without holding onto something) He gets up with assistance easily and cruises and climbs. But he doesn’t seem to have the balance to stand alone. I have so much anxiety about it. He just turned 15 months and he’s been on...
