Weight Bearing/Bum Shuffling

[Guest guest]

Hey Bert

I also meant to add that Siobhan didn't crawl - EVER. She took

up 'bum shuffling'/scooting at around 9 months, but never crawled.

She walked at 15 months - not overly late, but much later than her

older brother.

The other thing I noticed with Siobhan, was when I'd carry her

around, she'd always seem heavier, and slip down my waist. The

physio said that was her poor muscle tone, not " gripping " on to me.

Weird eh?

Siobhan never W sit, but side-sat into her curve (and still does).

Even Ms Mehta couldn't get her to sit the other way around!

Just something else to think on....
