re: OT Dads / Moms / Docs / Nurses, Question about Child Development

It's not uncommon for first children to be late walkers or crawlers. The parents have much more time to spend with a first child so the tend to pack them around all he time and the baby knows that if it wimpers a little, the parents will be right there to pick him/her up. My first was late like yours, my third was walking, unassisted, at 6 months.
