Hi all,
My daughter is 20months old, developmentally delayed and she weighs just over 8kg and wears 6-9month clothing.
She's under the care of. Developmental paediatrician and SALT, who have both mentioned Autism.
She's always been small, had a feeding tube when she was 4mo for 'failure to thrive' (but mostly due to her bottle aversion!) we overcame her bottle aversion and she was also diagnosed with CMPA which she was clear of by 13months old.
I feel like for the whole of her life so far I've been worrying about her, I've started to relax and I don't weigh her as much now, and we have been concentrating on her speech development.
However, we have never had bloods taken or any further investigations done. I'm happy to leave it be if she's just small, but could there be something underlying?
Bloods for genetic testing have been mentioned but that was only when I went to get her eyes tested.
There's a 10.5 month age gap between her and her older brother and he was born 8lbs 2 and is 70th percentile. I know they're all different....
Any advice from parents who've had a little pocket rocket and how they are now would be great :)
