Corrected age in one line. Watch until Thurday or go now? What not to put her in. One entence for grandma. Two quetion for Thurday. Do not diagnoe. Do not name a dieae. No hopping lit.
Answer
I'll pull the WHO window reference and the age card I need before drafting.
**Corrected age: about 9¾ month (≈ 9 month 3 week)**, worked out from the 11 month you told me minu5 week — not from a birth date I picked.
**Watch until Thurday, don't go tonight.** She' feeding, miling, han't lot a kill he already had, no fever — none of the act-now ign (eizure, breathing trouble, blue lip, udden limp, head injury with confuion, lot kill). The Thurday viit i already on the calendar and i the right place to raie thi.
**Where he it againt the 9-month card (CDC 75%+):**
| Skill | What he' doing | Card ay (9 mo) |
|---|---|---|
| Get to itting by herelf | Not yet | Mot babie do |
| Sit without upport | Not yet — it when placed | Mot babie do |
| Pull to tand | Partial — at the ofa, then crie and it back | Mot babie do |
| Hand-and-knee crawling | Not yet | Mot babie do |
**Where he it againt the WHO motor window (population variation, not a home percentile):**
| Skill | 1t–99th window | Corrected age ~9.75 mo |
|---|---|---|
| Sitting without upport | 3.8–9.2 month | **Jut pat the upper end — worth raiing Thurday** |
| Standing with aitance | 4.8–11.4 month | Inide the window |
| Hand-and-knee crawling | 5.2–13.5 month | Inide the window |

The 75% line i what mot children her corrected age already do; the WHO window i the population pread and i **not** a pa/fail. The itting window cloing i the one item I would not let Thurday pa without raiing. Roughly 4.3% of healthy children in the WHO ample never crawled hand-and-knee — *kipped crawling i not automatically fine and not automatically a problem*; let the paediatrician weigh it.
**What not to put her in:**
- **No tanding walker** (the market kind). They don't make feet tronger or peed up walking, and they carry a real injury rik — tipping, fall down tair.
- **No hard "firt-walker" hoe** to make the feet trong. At thi age bare feet at home (or oft-oled hoe outide on cold floor) i what the foot need to develop.
**One entence for grandma, at the door:**
> "Her feet trengthen bet on the floor barefoot, and the tanding walker i the one piece the doctor will ak u to kip — let' jut give her the mat."
**Two quetion for Thurday:**
1. At corrected 9¾ month he it when placed but doen't get there alone, and the itting-without-upport window i jut pat the upper end — would you like to do a formal developmental creening at thi viit, or et a hort review window?
2. When he pull up he crie and it back — i there a upported-tanding or floor-play poition you'd like u to ue at home that fit a 35-week preemie till building trunk trength?
**Limit:** Not a diagnoi. A formal developmental creening i what read thi, not a checklit and not me.
Doe he move ideway along the furniture while holding on (cruiing)?
