Hi Everyone,
I'm coming to join this section, in the hope that someone can understand what we are going through, how we are feeling & offer some support.
My DS is 13, nearly 14 months old. And we've got major concerns about his development. The HV is aware and he has been put down for hearing tests (which we have no worry about his hearing) & development help. We've got a history of special needs in our family.
He is not walking yet (but no worries about this as he's starting to pull himself up), but the worrying thing is, he's not waving, pointing, clapping, he's just generally very slow, and not really alert like other babies his age. We've got no words, hardly any babble.. if you encourage him to get something he doesn't understand..
He is so loving & smiley. He loves us reading books to him and pulling down the flaps, and he feeds himself with his fingers quite well. He won't hold a sippy cup though.
He just seems very very slow, it's hard to explain.
Does anyone have any experiences? I've spent the past few months in tears, trying to come to terms with things. We've also got a DD who is coming up 4 who is very very bright, and we've got no concerns about, so we know from experience something isn't right.
Thanks for reading, and i hope someone can understand how we are feeling and offer some support
Thanks x
