I’m a bit worried about my 6 month old son.
Since he was born he doesn’t like being held (arches his back) unless he has some sort of stimulation. He was able to hold his head when he was 2 weeks and never rested it on my chest. He will remove my hand if I stroke him on his back. He does not look me in the eyes when I breastfeed him.

He does babble to himself and to strangers or to objects and the ceiling.
He smiles and laughs, mostly to dad and strangers. Easy to please.
He only looks at me if I do funny things or sing, he used to look at me all the time and now he basically ignores me even if I call his name.
He used to be interested in himself in the mirror but not anymore.
He is following milestones and is a happy baby otherwise.
Should I be concerned?

Sounds like my little one and I was worried about autism, he's almost 18 months and perfectly health, still doesn't like cuddles much and is very independent! Don't worry quite yet please - they are all so different xx
