#asktheexpert my little one is 10 months old _ she does not try to sit front a lying position and does not attempt to crawl either. should I be concerned. when we make her sit she sits independently without support. thanks

A. children may sometimes begin sitting without support and crawling after one year of age. if the child's growth is progressing well, there is no need to be concerned. ensuring a balanced diet and providing regular baby massage can help strengthen the necessary muscles for sitting and crawling. in certain situaxtions, crawling may be skipped and the child may progress directly to standing and eventually walking with support, and later without support. it is advisable to consult a medical professional to determine if any intervention is necessary. x
