Our user asked: "birth to preemie twins at 33 weeks. Now, at 5mos, one of them has not turned over yet. He seems to get his hands in the way or end up trying to push himself from his stomach. What can I do to help him? At what point should I have him evaluated? (if he is evaluated to early and denied services, he cannot be reevaluated for another 6 mos - in NY)"

Ask a PT Response: "My suggestion would be for you to have a more thorough discussion with your child's pediatrician and together develop a plan. The pediatrician will be able to give you much better insight for what to do, as he or she will already be familiar with your son and what his issues are. I wish you and your son the best."
