My 9 month old is an awful sleeper/napper and has reflux and allergies which I feel have set him back a bit but there are a few things that concern me. Because he's been a tricky baby we've not gone out and socialised with other babies really at all. I'm hoping someone here might be able to reassure me or give me clues what might be going on.
He smiles and sometimes laughs at inanimate objects, in particular lights
He's obsessed with my hands and feet, he loves watching and trying to grab them
He doesn't really attempt to communicate with me except for crying or smiling and occasional laughing, he does babble a little bit but it doesn't sound like speech at all.
He seems to have weak hands/fingers
His legs sometimes go wonky (!) - like one will go out to the side or back
He often doesn't bother with toys, like he's too tired to, but sometimes likes playing with things like activity cubes. He basically just chews everything like it's going out of fashion when he does play. He likes chewing paper especially.
He's not yet crawling but has been trying to for months. He gets frustrated and lies his head on his hands and screams and bites his hands
He screams a lot actually.
Thanks
