My little boy is 15 months old. At 12 months I noticed that occasionally one of his eyes rises up and looks up, while the other one looks ahead. Strangley this only occurs when he is sitting in his car seat... not sure if something to do with being tired or relaxed.
Around the same time the Health Visitor noticed a slight head tilt. I went to the doctors and they refered to Eye Hospital. I am going next Thurs (been waiting ages for appointment)
I have been trouling the internet for information on brain tumours, I am so worried that he has one as both a squint AND head tilt can be symptoms...
He also has a very big head,which can suggest an issue.
All I can think of is that he has a brain tumour and is going to die. I know that probably sounds dramatic, but my mind is racing.
I am really praying that the two things are related to perhaps his eye sight being not very good (Although he does appear to see well.
I'm not sure why I am posting - as no one will have the answers but I am just so scared.
