1.8 years old is not crawling yet. What can be the reason?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

1. Your daughter is having some delay in walking. We expect them to achieve this function by 12 or 13 months.

2. Does she recognize parents? Can she hear and say some words with meaning? As you said that her activities are normal, I presume yes.

3. So, maybe she has a delay in the motor or movement functions. Some kids might not crawl, they directly walk and that is fine.

4. Did she have any health issues before? How is her weight and height? Does she play with toys? Was everything normal from her birth? Was she born premature are some things to be known?

5. If no such issues were there, then maybewe can give her some more time.

6. You can get basic tests done like thyroid function tests, calcium and vitamin D levels. From the report we can initiate any treatment if required.

7. You can visit your doctor once for a general checkup and not to miss any other major problems. Try to stimulate her to walk either by using a walker or toys, which encourage her to walk.
