Is Inability Of A Year Old Infant To Crawl And Walk Concerning?
my granddaughter is 12 months old. She has great fine motor skills with intact pincer movement and can transfer objects from one pincer grasp to another. She babbles and says dada, mama and dog. However she does not like to bear weight on her feet. She rolls over and that is how she gets from point a to point b. Should we be worried that she is not crawling, pulling herself up or walking at this point?

Hello. I just read through your question.
Pulling to a stand is a ten month milestone. Taking steps is a 13 month milestone. It is not necessary to worry about a child who misses a milestone by a month or two. Any longer than that, is concerning. Usually, a few sessions with a physical therapist can be very helpful. I recommend discussing this with your pediatrician and getting an opinion.
