Anton army crawled at five months, crawled belly up at seven months, pulled

up to standing at nine months. He's fourteen, almost fifteen months and not

walking yet, although he does cruise along the furniture. I anticipate it will

be a few more months until he walks.

LOL!! was exactly the same. Sat unassisted at 6 months, crawled

at 9 months, and just started walking at 18 months.

children with MDS sit and crawl sooner than a child with Ds. I am

wondering if this could be a good marker to indicate if a person has MDS

instead of Ds. There are so many children out there who are misdiagnosed

and told that they have Ds and not MDS. So, I would like to know when

your child sat up and when they crawled. Then, I will also ask a group

of parents who have children with Ds. When comparing the 2 groups, it

may be a very helpful indicator for the researchers I am working with

and it may help me make a strong point if I am able to speak at the NDSC

hmmm... didn't sit alone until 11/12 mos old, and didn't crawl, on his

knees, until he was about 14/15 mos (he did this great commando belly crawl

thought at 9/10 mos! hahaa)

Gross motor was not Katy's strong suit. She started talking almost as early as

my son, but was way behind when it came to the gross motor. I don't remember

exactly when she started sitting up - but think it was around a year - crawling

- 18 months and she didn't start walking until 2 years 10 months - I remember it

was on Father's Day in June and she turned 3 in August. When she started

walking she just stood straight up and took off. Usually they start standing

and kind of fall and learn balance, but she did both together. I think she was

really ready to walk but just didn't have the confidence. She had a lot of hip

rotation which delayed her walking.

Thanks Angel

According to studies that I have read, the commando crawl is considered actual

crawling. There are many ways of crawling and although most babies do the

traditional " knees and hands " crawling, if they are moving you can consider it a

crawl.

Garrett did the commando crawl and Tim did the " bear " crawl. (he wouldn't put

his knees down and crawled on his hands and feet with his rear in the air. lol

Neither ever did the traditional crawl.

I am an early interventionist to a child with MDS and a child with DS. The

child with DS sat without support at 8 months and crawled at 10 months. The

child with MDS sat without support at 4 months and crawled at 7 months.

Thank you for this information! It is VERY helpful. I know that research has

shown that children with MDS crawl and sit earlier and the information I am

getting is proving that to be true. I am hoping that this information will be

helpful in making a proper diagnosis of MDS especially in small countries who

can not do blood and skin tests.

Aidan sat up by 6 months, crawled by 8/9 and walked unassisted by 16-17 months.

I think the walking took the longest for him, especially since he has really

flat feet and super skinny legs.

Aidan (mds) - almost 4, a - 2, - 2 months.

Thanks for letting me know! I am finding this information facinating while

comparing it to another group whose children have DS.
