Hi, I’m looking to see if any of you have children with Hypotonia.
I have a 15 month old who has never ever rolled, crawled, or weight bearered on legs - he can’t stand even when aided.
My LO is very ‘floppy’ and has no muscle resistance. He literally is like a rag doll. Eating, sleeping, fine motor skills & comminication so far seems fine.
My main concern is that when on his tummy he cannot lift his head, not even a tiny bit, let alone push up to look around. I know babies of 4-5 months that can do this.
We have been passed from pillar to post, his blood tests & MRI was ‘normal’. So no diagnosis just that he has hypotonia.
We are now on another 3 month waiting list for the Paediatrician.
Where do I go from here? Have any of you experienced anything similar & if so did you get a diagnosis?
I just want to know how to help my LO & what the future holds.
He is my first & I am fed of people saying ‘hes just lazy & spolit’. The fact he cannot even lift his head slightly up at 15m let alone crawl or walk worries me.
Sorry for the rant
