Regression at 33 months

Hi,
I'm getting more and more concerned about my 33 mo.
She never been really advanced in terms of physical development (she walked at 18 months) but made slow but steady progress.
She used to climb up and down stairs holding on to a rail and a month ago she started going up unassisted.

Lately though, she struggles with that. She holds on to the railing, puts her foot on the next step but seems incapable of pulling herself up. I have to give her support.

Her speech is also a cause of concern. She has a large vocabulary, she makes up to 6 words sentences but not often.
Most of the time, she will use 3 word phrases and mix a lot of gibberish in between phrases.

Her pronunciation is also quiet off and had worsened lately.
I really don't know if I should freak out and get her to a neurologist or wait to see if she gets back on track. She will be starting school on Monday

She's not even 3 yet. Her language sounds good. On the stair thing, is she not just being cautious and/or stubborn? Is she otherwise steady on her feet?

Yes she’s steady on her feet but she can’t jump for instance.
I’m more concerned by the regression than by delays.
As I said she was walking up stairs pretty easily holding on to the railings. She even started taking them independently.
How come she can’t do that anymore ?
I tried again this morning.
When she tried, put one foot forward, hold the railings and tried to lift the other leg. I could see her “back” leg shivering. She ended up on her hands. Confused

I don't know then. Maybe she's coming down with something? Mine go a bit floppy when they're not well. Maybe give it another week and then see your GP.
The only think I would say is that if you are putting her under pressure to do a specific thing then that's an absolute guarantee that a 2 year old will refuse to do it! Smile

Go and see your GP ASAP and tell them your concerns.
Good luck x
