Any one has kids with developmental delays? Do they catch up and outgrow eventually ?

Hi how delayed is it? All babies have different pace in their milestones. I walked when I was 10mo but my bro not walked when he was 16mo. I will think it won't be cause for worry if it is only a few months delayed but you may want to highlight to your PD in his next development check or when you get the chance to see PD again. They may recommend you to see a therapist. For eg I know of a mom whose baby cannot crawl at 9 plus months. Actually I don't think this is very delayed or worrying but she asked the PD who recommended a therapist to them. The therapist analyzed for them that they placed baby inside exersaucer too early and that's why baby keep straightening legs and refuse to crawl. My point is they will eventually catch up but if you really want to hasten it and know what's wrong you can bring them to see a therapist. But for some cases like if baby is two years old and not talking yet I will worry and bring her to a speech therapist. So it really depends on case by case
