Is my little bug developing normally?
My baby just turned 4 months yesterday and I am trying to get an idea of where her development is in the scope of other babies and if she is doing everything she is supposed to be doing at this point. I know she was holding her head up a lil early.. She was turning it and holding it up first week. Now when I put her on her tummy she holds it up really high and pushed her arms up.. but she hasn't coordinated her back legs as to how to push herself to crawl. Is this normal or should she already have figured that out?? She rolls all around though. She rolls from back to belly to side back on her back so shes figured that out. My mother in law tried to tell me she would be bowlegged because we always let her stand but since the first few weeks she straightens herself out and we let her stand in our lap because she doesn't want to sit. Now I hold her hands and let her stand on the floor just helping her keep balanced and she likes it... is that harmful?
yeah no crawling its actually pretty funny she rolls across the room lol

no it isn't i do it for my son all the time, he loves it. Ask your doctor about this, to me she sounds totally normal.

Four months is about the right time frame for rolling over from tummy to back, with five-six months being the norm for being able to go both ways. Most babies aren't going to be crawling until at least six months, if not seven or eight. Several of our babies liked to be upright at a young age, and at four months, we'd often let them stand with us holding onto them. None of them became bow-legged. Nothing to worry about.

My sister has a 4 month old, and my brother has a 3 month old. The 4 month old is learning to crawl, but she hasn't gotten it down yet. The three month old crys when he goes on the floor, but can lift his head and move it around and all. One of my three week old twins can lift her head a little, but the other's is still to heavy. Good Luck!

i think your daughter is ahead of the game. my daughter just started to roll over from back to front last week. still hasn't figured out how to go back yet she is 6 months.
