Does anyone have a baby with low muscle tone?
Our son has been diagnosed with slightly low muscle tone. He is almost ten months old and has only just started to weight bear (only for a second or two).
We do exercises with him that seem to be slowely helping.
I was wondering if anyone else has/or had a baby in this situation and how long it took for baby to crawl or walk?
Thanks!
My daughter had Down’s Syndrome. We were told that low muscle tone was a possibility. Surprisingly her muscle tone was just fine. But, during her early intervention physical therapy they really worked with her to get her going.
She…
Rolled over at 4.5 mo
Sat unsupported 10 mo
Crawled 11.5 mo
Took first step supported 9 mo
Walked 15 mo
Just hang in there. He’ll get going soon enough. Then they never slow down. You’re doing the right thing by helping him along. Does he see a physical therapist…that might be something you could look into. Good luck
