approaching first birthday, still cant stand

Mom... I'm really worried. My child is almost 1 year old (11 months) and still can't stand up... can sometimes stand with support, but still falls often. Not to mention standing, even when supported, they cry and just want to sit down. It's like they're scared. Why is that, mom... I want to take them to a pediatrician, but last time I went, I was scolded for supposedly not providing enough stimulation and not caring for my child. It's exhausting to be judged constantly. has anyone experienced the same?

Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling worried about your little one. It's totally normal to have concerns about your child's development, so please don't feel alone in this. Every child develops at their own pace, and some may take longer to reach certain milestones than others. It's great that your child can stand with some support, even if they still fall often. This shows that they are making progress, even if it's taking a bit longer than expected. It's also common for babies to feel a bit scared or unsure when trying new things like standing, so don't worry too much about that. As for the pediatrician's scolding, I'm really sorry you had to go through that. It can be exhausting and disheartening to feel judged as a parent, especially when you're doing your best. Remember that every child is different, and as long as you're providing love and care for your little one, you're doing a great job. If you're still feeling concerned, it might be a good idea to seek a second opinion from a different pediatrician. They may be able to provide a different perspective and offer support without judgment. You could also try reaching out to other parents who may have experienced similar situations for advice and reassurance. Hang in there, mom! You're not alone, and you're doing an amazing job. Keep supporting and encouraging your child, and remember to take care of yourself too. Sending you lots of warmth and positivity. https://invl.io/cll6she
