Hi
I'm new to these type of forums but I really need some help/advice. My 18 month old has been walking for a good couple of months quite happily then 2 weeks ago she just stopped and hasn't walked since. She will pull herself up on furniture but won't stand there for long before going down on her hands and knees. When I go to stand her on the floor she tucks up her feet and knees.
She has been off her food and very clingy and crying a lot at night. At times, mainly first thing in the morning and last thing at night she doesn't want to be touched or picked up and will just lay on her back.
We've been to both the doctors and hospital and been told that she's probably just going through a phase or that its a knock on effect from a cold she had a month ago. I don't agree. There is something wrong. When I go to bath her she won't sit up and screams the house down. She is also refusing to sit in her highchair.
Am I over-reacting? What could be wrong? Who should I speak to? We've had x rays done on her pelvis and they've come back fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
