My one-year-old doesn’t crawl yet. Should I be worried?
Each child develops differently and reaches developmental
milestones at different times. Typically at this age,
children are creeping and crawling. If you have not posed
this question to your pediatrician, it is definitely time to
do so. If you are unsatisfied with the response you receive,
seek a second opinion. Do remember that procedures and
protocol vary among insurance companies when it comes to
securing a second opinion. However, be vigilant. If your
“parent instinct” has you concerned that there may be a
problem, ask for a referral for a second opinion, possibly
to a physician that specializes in developmental medicine.
