2.5 year old concerns

[Babymad1234]

Hi everybody
I am a first time mom to an almost 2.5 YO ( 29 months ) and she is giving me a few reasons to be concerned for her development.
Language wise she seems on track with lots of back and forth conversation, albeit basic , lots of asking questions like when she is looking for something she goes “ where is bunny “ mommy what are you doing ? Etc . She answers some basic why’s and what did you do today questions as well . At times , for requests she still relies on single words though like food , milk please mommy . She uses some pronouns like me , my , it , she and me but mixes up you and I sometimes . A bit worried that doesn’t use I many Times and if she jumps in puddles she tells me about the Peppa and George episode jumping in muddy puddles . Is it scripting . If a child takes a toy away “ she won’t react .

Still repeats a lot of what we say but can answer yes and no and make verbal choices

Socially she is very shy but can parallel play with her peers in toddler groups and on several occasions she has exchanged her toys and played on the same toy with another child . She answers questions like what’s your name ? What’s bunny’s name ? How old are you if people ask her . She always follows directions if I ask her to tidy up her toys .

Tantrum wise she definitely has her moments but nothing that resembles to a meltdown. Her tantrums lasts nom more than five minutes and it is not a daily occurrence . She does get frustrated if her toy breaks or can’t do something right .

Sleeps 2 hour nap and from 7pm to 7 am .
Lots of imaginative play with her toys and I can get her to engage in activities for about 10 minutes .

She toe walks and has always done that since she was 14 months but with less regularity now ( only when excited )
She is a bit picky . On a day to day basis she would have breakfast with a cup of milk , multi seeded toast with butter and peanut butter and yogurt snack : almond croissant / banana , milk before nap lunch carrot with egg and mince meatballs ( not homemade ) dinner : homemade tuna sauce pasta with courgette , sponge , banana chips

No really I feel like all she would have is toast , carrots and breadsticks and banana . She used to love eating pasta and broccoli and now I struggle feeding her this

Mumsnet needs to ban these posts.

Get help for your mental illness. You've been told by professionals your daughter is following typical development patterns. You've posted a list of food in your OP that most parents would only dream of their child eating. You've said she tries new foods. You are not only utterly ridiculous, but also severely mentally unwell if you're trying to convince yourself and everyone around you that your daughter is disabled. Please seek medical help for yourself, you clearly have Munchausen's by proxy.

Oh you're back 🙄
I thought you had maybe had some therapy as you haven't posted for a few weeks.
You need help. Seriously. As someone said this sounds like Munchausen's By Proxy (now called Fictitious Induced Illnesses - I think?)
As you seem to like researching things that could be "wrong" - have a read about that.

So would most toddlers survive on that given half the chance. What are you excepting to get out these multiple posts OP? You must know by now surely there is nothing wrong with your child. Why do you keep coming back with these non-problems.

She sounds like a completely normal toddler. I really don’t see what your concern is here.

I have 2 autistic sons who are now in their 20s.

my first was diagnosed at 2.5 and my second at 3.

Absolutely nothing you have described sounds, to me, of any concern whatsoever.

It's perfectly normal for babies who eat everything to become pickier toddlers. Keep offering a variety and it will more than likely pass.

@OP are you going to address any of the comments about you getting help?

Are you concerned that she isn't using I? What you describe sounds like a perfectly normal child of that age.
My nearly 4yo gs says my instead of I and mine instead of my. His development is just fine.

That is normal.

Both of mine were really good eaters, then went through fussy stages- they both currently eat plain pasta, yoghurt and strawberries, everything else is a battle. It’s completely normal.

I've got four DC @Babymad1234

They all went through fussy phases when they were toddlers. That's the nature of toddlers.

You must try to calm down and just enjoy your baby.

You again.

Clearly this is what you want to hear so...

Sure, she sounds terribly delayed and you should seek help ASAP.

thank You it is just feels like she doesn’t enjoy anymore the food she used to love and it is going on longer than a normal phase I believe . She is pocketing food etc

Seriously get help for your mental health. You are severely mentally unwell. Your daughter is fine, you on the other hand have a serious mental health condition called Munchausen's by proxy (now also called FII)

It's absolutely DISGUSTING that you're so obsessed with having a ND child. Get help because you're currently a danger to your child and if I knew you in person I wouldn't hesitate to call social services on you. Complete safeguarding issue tbh

Is it DLA your after i wonder ?🤔

wow that’s amazing! Mine wouldn’t even try a bite and one still won’t aged 7. The 12 yr old might but it’s a recent thing. He was super picky. Survived off fish fingers and porridge for years.

just keep offering. They often start branching out at school

The thing you dont seem to understand, op, is that toddlers are weird little buggers, capable of doing almost anything from only liking carrots on Tuesdays to going round with their thumb stuck up their arse.

Normal behaviour for toddlers looks very much like not normal at all. 😁 but it is normal.

If whether your child is 'normal' (for want of a better word) or not is becoming an obsession for you then please do go to the GP and talk about ways they can help you.

But isn't scripting a natural part of language development?

I remember you with the egg meatballs. You posted before about your child's diet. Everyone said it was fine and there was nothing wrong.

So are you just fishing for compliments? Do you genuinely think there's something wrong with your child?

Yes, it is. The OP has been told this repeatedly.

Thanks ☺️ So when does it become like a sensory issue or aversion ? How can a parent tell it s a normal behaviour !

Are you going to address the fact you need serious mental health help as soon as possible? Or are you just going to stay delusional? Munchausens is a form of child abuse.

You've been told by many many people that nothing you've said is a concern. Why are you just sitting here hoping to one day have concerns? Hoping your child is disabled. You absolute freak.

Of course they won't
Mumsnet needs to ban them.for their own sake people answering in good faith really aren't helping them.
