What Causes Delay In Crawling And Sitting In 9 Month Old Baby?

Hello, I have a 9 1/2 month old baby girl, She isn t crawling yet, she doesn t sit by herself very well.. she is rolling everywheres and she is very alert. She stands for long periods at a time tho.. she holds her own bottle once in awhile she holds her sippy cup as well but should I be worried with her not crawling or sitting by herself.???? Thank you

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Her muscles are very weak and bones don't have enough Calcium. When bones will have enough enriched minerals she will sit,crawl and walk properly. I see similar cases amongst children who visit my clinic. At the first meeting, I advise my patients to go on Calcium and Vitamin D enriched diet: curd-50,0; milk-200,0;yoghurt or dahi -150ml every day;fish-50-70,0 1-2 times in a week, yolk and etc. In addition you can give Osteocalcium 5 ml once a day for 1 month, use sunbath,walk in the pram 2 times for 2 times every day.
Start on these changes and get back to me in 2 to 3 months. Wish your baby good health.
