Dh, mil and all of my family are very poo poo and old school about the whole thing. Ranging from "don't think it's an issue and he'll grow out of it if it is" (dh) to "he just needs a good smack" (some of my family).
Ds is almost 4. He's always been funny about clothes. Doesn't like to wear anything around his neck, wear anything on his feet etc. I know these are common so that didn't raise any questions with me.
He's also actually minorly allergic to clothing (I buy mostly light coloured clothes) and any kind of tags. Nothing major, he gets light eczema and sores.
He's weird about food. Won't eat most things as he says they 'feel funny'. Won't eat chicken or any meat, just fish. Says certain things are 'stringy' and nasty and retches if he takes a bite. This also I feel can be a toddler/young kid phase.
But now he's started going bananas about hair. If the tiniest hair is on him or his toys he flips out.
The other things didn't make me too concerned but added with this I'm thinking maybe he has something going on.
For anyone that has experienced similar is there anything that actually gets done if it's deemed as an issue?
Whisking him off to a doctor is expensive as I'm not in the UK but will if it is a problem obviously. And wondering if it's the kind of thing that is helped if treated earlier.
Or am I worrying about nothing?
