Hi guys!

I wanted to see, if anyone has gone through something similar. My guy (from September 10th 25) is not pushing up on hands. Like ever. I can put him on all fours or in a plank and he will hold it briefly before collapsing. Even if I put toys up high, he will not make effort to straighten his arms to get to it.

Otherwise he’s very active. He rolled back to front at 4 months and has only just started rolling front to back but only on soft surfaces. He also started army crawling a few weeks ago.

He can sit okay, but will fall over if distracted or going for something. And then it’s like he doesn’t realise he has arms, as he doesn’t even try to catch himself. I can prop him op with his arms in front of him in sitting though. He also doesn’t brace with his arms if I put him in a plank over my leg and his head is headed towards the ground 😅 he will just hit his head if I let him before he would brace.

We have raised our concerns and are waiting to hear from the PT. The more I google, the more nervous I get. I’ve been so diligent about his movement - no screen time, no containers, a lot of tummy time and floor time, baby sensory and gym classes, going to osteopaths regularly and so on. But I can’t help but feel like I’ve screwed up somewhere 😣 if you’ve gone through something similar, please let me know how it turned out! And if there was a cause? TIA!
