[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

Is she showing any of the signs under the "Act Early" header?

If so, then I'd be concerned and I would talk to my pediatrician.

If she's not getting enough tummy time, that's an easy fix.  You give her more tummy time.  (P.S.  There's no such thing as "consonant regression."  Yes, I recognize your post from Gen'l Parenting.)[/quote]

Haha, I made that term up and definitely not trying to hide that I am that poster :)

The only one of the "talk to your child's doctor if" ones is the rolling.  But the EI had a lot of other stuff she said she should be able to do, including holding the bottle (but she also said that breastfed babies often missed this).[/quote]

If she's not getting enough tummy time, then she's going to have difficulty learning to roll over.  If she's making eye contact and making noise (even if consonant free), I wouldn't worry about contacting an autism center.  So work on tummy time.  Take her to the pool (either class or free swim) and have her grab for floating plastic toys.  If she's having trouble feeding, I'd get some Baby MumMum crackers.

I don't think they can really screen with any sort of reliability until 9 months in any case:

Just remember there is a range of normal--for rolling, pincer grasp etc.

Take a deep breath and keep up updated.  Personally, my gut says you're letting your worries getting the best of you.
