Hi,
I know nobody here can diagnose I just wanted to get everything out really.
I'm getting increasingly concerned about dd2's development or lack of :(
Dd (2.5yrs) has been referred to the paediatrician after her 2 yr check and 2 additional assessments. She has no proper words although she did have several from about 18m. She used to say 1, 2, 3, eieio, no more, bad, juice and her brothers name. She now says none of these :(
She has had an audiology appt to rule out hearing issues as she doesn't respond when we call her very often but that was inconclusive so we're waiting for another. She doesn't point or wave and she uses my hand to get things she wants.
I don't think she plays very well instead preferring to line up her happyland figures or put several pencils in her hand all the same way up and same height. She chews everything, books, pencils, etc.
She's not a brilliant eater and won't try new foods but I know this could just be her being a fussy toddler. Her sleep isn't good, she's still waking 1-2 times a night and she can take up to an hr to fall asleep every night even though she's obviously tired, she'll just bounce up and down on her bed.
She loves bouncing, she'll spend ages bouncing on her knees when downstairs and she also flaps her arms and wiggles her fingers a lot.
Seeing it all written down im feeling quite worried but I'm not sure if these things are anything to be worried about?
The paed referal can take 13 weeks apparently so it won't be for a while that we can begin to get answers/help.
Is there anything else I need to be doing in the meantime?
Thanks
