I know this is incredibly rare but does anybody have any experience with this please? If so; what can we expect please? What can we do to help them feel comfortable? Thank you
Has anybody taken this combination and if so, how is it going so far? Any experiences would be most welcome Thank you!
I have noticed some things over the last couple of years about my daughter’s (female, 2 years & 4 months) development which I am concerned about. But my husband seems to think it’s normal. I would like to hear a doctors opinion because we are seeing a paediatrician next week for her regarding something else and I’m wondering whether to bring it up (NHS UK).
\- Late walker, first steps at 19 months and walked properly around 20 months.
\- Tip toe walker. All the time. Have been to gp about this but they said can be normal until 7 and won’t refer her for physio
\- As a baby it was really hard to make her laugh.
\- Sticks her tongue out ALL the time.
\- Will respond to her name, but more than often doesn’t. Not sure if it’s out of choice though.
\- Has basic words like mama, dada, colours, animals but only one words. Only 2 word phrase I have heard is ‘Mama gone?’
\- Throws things all the time. I know this is normal in toddlers but this is EXCESSIVE.
- in a group setting, she’ll always prefer to be on her own. For example; at a party yesterday all children were outside but she stayed inside running around in circles for a large majority Was smiling and laughing throughout.
- does not say things like ‘yes’ or ‘no’
- she can do things like clap. But if you say ‘clap *name*’ she wouldn’t and actually I don’t think I’ve see her clap for months now I think about it.
- sometimes just lies down and stares up to the ceiling.
- struggles to stack Lego blocks.
- will repeat a word over and over again. At a toddler group the other day she just kept saying ‘mama’ over and over throughout the whole hour. But not looking for me or anything - just saying the word at everything she saw.
\- she is however good at eye contact. Will show affection by cuddling. Can communicate things like if she’s hungry / thirsty etc. words are limited but are developing. Will try and play with her sibling by jumping on him or chasing him (or biting him).
Ps. We are seeing the paediatrician because there’s been a couple of episodes where she will freeze, whole body will shake and jerk/shudder. Eyes go from side to side. Almost seizure like activity. But will then be fine after 10 seconds and carry on as normal.
