She always checked D's reflexes, that's the only reason I suggest it, I have no idea about that specific one or if it should be a concern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonic-reflex-not-disappearing#post-1992644 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 23:53:16 +0000 BeachMama 1992644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd bring it up at his next appointment and maybe get it checked out by an OT. In the meantime, maybe work on tummy time activities and reaching for toys with either arm, and across his midline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonic-reflex-not-disappearing#post-1992612 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 22:58:07 +0000 Synchronicity 1992612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping for you. We did discuss this in school, but not in great detail... I believe you are correct about it disappearing around 6 months on average. I would absolutely bring it up at his next ped appointment if you are concerned, and try to stay away from Google in the meantime, as difficult as it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonic-reflex-not-disappearing#post-1992568 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 22:00:50 +0000 spaniellove 1992568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know very much about reflexes but I think the asymmetric tonic reflex is supposed to disappear by 5-6 months...that's the one where they look to one side and do the Usain Bolt. LO is 6 months and we've been noticing lately that he's definitely doing it still and in photos it's obvious that even sitting up he's constantly doing it, which we never saw before. </p> <p>Has anyone else's child had this not disappear? Or do you know what it means if it doesn't? </p>
