Will try and keep this short. DS is 22mo and has always been much of an "observer" and thinker rather than getting stuck in with things. Think he's going to be a logical thinker like DH.
Anyway last Oct he had 2 stomach bugs and we were at home about a fortnight. Must confess we watched a LOT of cbeebies as he was too tired to do much.
It took him a while to recover and then he got a cough and cold over Christmas.
DH and I are getting worried as his developments seems to be going backwards.
He only said a couple of words but now he's babbling loads but not really saying any proper words at all.
He seems to have no interest in toys and doesn't do any scribbling or messy play etc. DH has asked me to cut out TV which we have done over the last couple of days. He basically just wanders round the house and I struggle to get him to join me in playing with anything. He still likes books at least.
HV doesn't seem worried - apparently he's not 2 yet so I shouldn't expect him to play which seems odd when all his friends are pushing cars around and playing with train sets and dolls etc
Am I worrying unnecessarily? Seems a long time to still be getting over a sick bug. Any ideas how I can help him or if anyone else has gone through something similar?
