Hi all, this is my first post so apologies if I have put it in the wrong place. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with cerebral palsy in babies? My 7 month old is still not sitting up, stands on her toes (they sometimes roll under) and seems to only ever stand flat in one foot. Am I just being neurotic/what other signs should I look for? A very unhelpful friend suggested I look into it and now I'm worried! TIA

I don't know anything about Cerebral palsy, but my nephew was weird on his feet for a while at 5-6 months while trying to make him stand. They rolled under and weren't flat on the floor but over the past 2 months he seems to be standing flatter on his feet. Could just take time and practice. Your friend shouldn't say such worrying things.
About sitting, it does take some babies longer.
