11 month old not sitting, crawling...

My 11 month old is not sitting up on her own yet.  She can not pull her self up into a sitting position nor can she sit by her self if I sit her up.  She's not crawling, walking or standing.  She does roll very well though.  She also hasn't spoken any words yet(mamma, dadda...) It's almost as if she's an eight month old baby and not on her way to a year.  She was three weeks premature, but otherwise very healthy.  She hasn't even been sick yet.  I've increased her tummy time and have been paying extra special attention to her developement but am very conserned.  Could this be a real problem?

You probably should post this  directly on  the forum page as your own question.  Then you won't get bogged down with all the outdated posts.

Try to get your pediatrician to direct you to an early intervention program.  One is available is in the US but I don't know where you are.  My grandson is almost 1 and he has been helped a lot by his therapy.  He has similar issues but is slowly improving.

Hi, I have a 13 month old girl who can sit up from a semi reclining position and can sit unaided for quite a while, but she cannot sit up from lying down, is not bearing weight on her legs,can't crawl etc... but she can roll over.  She tries very hard to sit up from lying down but just can't manage it.  She also has a squint and is deaf in one ear.  She was born 4 weeks early and was under observation in the neo natal unit because she had fast breathing and was very jittery.  We were never told what caused these symptoms and she has since had an MRI scan which showed that her brain is structurally ok.  However, the consultant said that didn't mean her brain was functioning ok and she has been referred to a paediatrician for her development.
I am worried sick because there don't seem to be any answers but I did have an amneocentesis when I was pregnant because they thought she has Down's Syndrome but the tests came back clear for chromosonal abnormalities.  I notice that a few people have said their babies had feeding issues and my daughter always seemed to be in  pain when she was having her baby.  We have since found out that she had mild lactose intolerance and up until she was about 9 months old she would scream at all solid foods and gag on them.  However, now she will eat almost anything with no complaints.  Can anyone help, as I am driving myself crazy with worry.  People have mentioned CP in their posts but would that have showed on the MRI or chromosonal tests?
The specialists have said her squint could be muscle fibrosis or that her corneas are too small.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
