Not reaching milestones
Hello. My son is 9.5 months old and weighs 8.7 kgs. He was born in 35 weeks 7 days and weighted 2.295 kgs. He can sit without support independently but is not able to sit on his own from sleeping position. Also he doesnt crawl at all. He never tries to get up from sleeping position on his own and doesnt try to crawl also. Only at times he tries to bounce on the floor while sitting to move a little bit. that too very rarely. I am concerned because at this age he should be able to sit on his own from sleeping position. Otherwise he is very active and happy baby. What needs to be done for this? please advice.
