IUGR baby milestone delay
Hi,
My son is 11 months old.His birthweight was 2.7kg. He was born at 38 weeks 6 days.
At 38th week i took a growth scan. In the scan it was mentioned that his weight has reached 3kg, but the Abdominal circumference (AC) value was mentioned as weak percentile - 37 weeks.
Doctor mentioned baby is not getting enough nutrients, its kind of IUGR but no issues as the delivery would happen soon.
My son is now 8.2kg. He is very active but he is still not able to stand firmly on the floor.
Also he is not yet on knees , he only crawls on his tummy. He can sit without support but not for long time. He is not able to raise up and sit or stand by himself.
Does the low AC value leads to these delays in milestones?. Please advise

Low AC becomes irrelevant after your baby is born.
The weight of your baby is normal for an 11 month old baby. The milestones have a range and in your baby's case it seems to be a little delayed but the baby will pick up . You can consult your Paediatrician.
I feel you should give him Calcium supplements and Vit D drops and Multivitamin drops.
