Hi Ashwini, dont worry some kids directly starts standing instead of crawling. Let him sit with support of pillow or your hand, help him to stand . But dont force for anything as his bones are very delicate. Let him do whatever he wants you just give support. Try to move his left leg also.

Hii Ashvini if ur baby hs achieved all the milestones as per his age like neck holding in prone,rolling ,proper neck control in 6months ,prone on elbows nd hands subsequently Dan no need to worry bt if he is delayed wit dis milestones too as he is preterm baby nd yet skip criping crawling seating Dan please refer to paediatrician or child physio as well chk out the muscle tone of Lt side leg if he is nt doing any activity.

Dear i would suggest you to discuss with a good doctor in advance. Yes there are kids who pick up slow but why would you want to take risk. Feed him good , Keep on messaging him with good oil and try to make him physically active. But besides this you should keep discussing his growth and keep an eye on his proper development in the guidance of a good doctor.

there is nothing much to think about a preterm labour in ur case. Bcz 20 days is nothing to think about. giving birth after 36th week is gud. coming to ur kid it's nrml for some babies to postpone a milestone . n some babies skip crawling stage too. don't worry about that and help ur baby learning new things.
