Expected Developmental Milestones

• Rolls from back to stomach
• Sits unaided
• Crawls on hands and knees
• Pulls up to a standing position
• Makes purposeful arm and leg movements - e.g. moves to pick up toy and then spends time actively playing with it.

Parents should be concerned if (amongst other factors)

• The child usually 'bottom-shuffles' and either does not go through the crawling stage or passes through very quickly
• The child cannot sit unaided at 9 - 12 months
• High levels of motor activity
• Repetitive arm and hand movements
• Additional repetitive head movements - 'rolling' and 'banging'
