At 6 months of age there are a set of ‘Developmental red flags’ that health professionals look for to help identify potential developmental issues or delays. While they don’t always mean there’s a problem, they do indicate that further assessment is needed. The reason these red flags are so important to watch out for is because catching them early allows for early intervention. By starting treatment early, we can significantly reduce the impact the issue has on a baby’s development, as well as reducing the amount of treatment required to correct it.
It’s very important to recognise that the presence of one or more developmental red flags does not necessarily mean your little one has a problem. If you do notice one or more of these red flags around the 6 months of age mark, it’s simply an indication that you should seek out professional advice and have a professional assessment done to see if there is cause for concern.
In this video I’m going to walk you through the developmental red flags to keep an eye out for at 6 months of age.
Because you spend more time than anyone else with your little one, you are best placed to pick these up early. For that reason it’s extremely beneficial if you’re aware of the red flags because you’ll be able to notice them early and get them assessed if needed. That early assessment and treatment (if necessary) can result in much better outcomes as mentioned above.
