Yesterday there was a thread on another forum about dummies and older children...Anyway someone mentioned in the thread about Googling because of her son's cafe au lait spot and possible learning delays because someone said using dummies late could indicate GDD (Global development delay)...Now Robyn has a largish one of these on her forehead and i'm aware it can be an indictor for some genetic conditions...Cue me having a Google last night to come across a condition where Robyn has a number of the symptoms, albeit the milder ones...One symptom is possible speech dealys and at whatever age my ticker says Robyn is, she only has said a maximum of 10 words...She can get her point across to me fine with body language and grunts...Now i got a letter yesterday from the Sure Start center where her 2 year check was carried out in June, asking if i still had concerns about her speech to contact them...This i'm doing tomorrow but do i bring up the condition i read about yesterday as a possible cause for her lack of speech...I don't want to come across as a worry wart mum but if she genuinely has that condition, then it's best out in the open, not that anything can specifically be done if she did have it.
