Head Lag at 6 months

[despederata]

My bub has significant head lag at 6 months and cannot sit up on his own yet. However, he is meeting all other milestones, can roll over both sides, babbling mamamama, everything... he is rocking back and forth on his arms and legs too...

The paed has recommended that he go for physical therapy.

Am I worrying unnecessarily?

Is the problem he cannot sit unaided or can't hold his head up?? Because I think 6 months is very young to sit unaided. My daughter is 6 months this week and can only sit unaided for like 30 seconds then tumbles over!

hmm, he can't hold his head in a straight plane from his body if pulled up by his arms - can't sit either! I am still hoping this is a phase thing since he's doing good for all other milestones but will send him for physio anyway, it can't hurt!
