anyone's lo started pointing later than 18 months and they have been ok?

[nappyaddict]

i'm concerned about my ds. he's 16 months.

he can talk a bit - says mummy, mimi (for grandma), baba (for baba seahorse swimming lessons we go to), baa baa (when he wants you to sing baa baa black sheep), shakes his head and says no and waves bye (sometimes) if you ask him to.

the thing is he is not pointing at all. if you call him he doesn't turn around. he doesn't bri ng me things he is interested in and doesn't really play with his toys-prefers to just crawl around aimlessly.

yurt1 - when did ds3 start pointing in the end?

nab3 - what were your dd's problems and how old was she when she saw a paed?

Hi

DD had plagiocephaly and was hypotonic. After months of worrying about her head she finally saw a Pead at 10 months, who didn't know why she was there. It was only when we looked at her Red Book once home that we saw she was hypotonic. From then on in we didn't bother with the NHS.

16/17 months nappyddict- right after we switched milks- lights went on. Have a google for the First Signs website- I seem to remember being glued to that- it also has a screening test you can take for about $5 - which will tell you when to refer on. I decided I would take the screening test at 18 months, but ds3 came on so much in a matter of weeks I didn't bother once we reached 18 months,

I do feel that you have to be careful with waiting and seeing as some cases will need treatment sooner and in our case, it would have been too late.

@nappyaddict it's a old thread but wanted to ask how your little one was doing?

How’s your little one doing ? ❤️
