Hi, I am becoming more and more worried about my 12onth old ds.
He used to make complex sounds while babbling ,but now only makes an 'aa' sound. He doesn't copy my facial expresions, still wakes in the night two or three times for a feed, and doesn't let me play with him. For example, if he is looking at a book, and I try to share with him, he gets very annoyed and screams at me and grabs the book away and turns his back on me. He used to be able to point, but now uses his whole hand.
He prefers to bottom-shuffle rather than crawl, is pulling himself up to stand, so not worried about that. He does however think he is more able than he is, and will try to balance and let go while standing, even though he is obviously still wobbly. I have to watch him like a hawk!
I am mainly worried about his communication skills and loss of babbling sounds, and the fact that he doesn't seem able to undestand me when I say simple things to him. He does look me in the eye, and seems quite a happy baby in other ways.
What do you think?
