Hi lovely ones. This is my first time posting on mumsnet so here goes..
I’m full of constant worry and anxiety at the minute and just need to rant and ask for some advice.
I’m a first time mum to a gorgeous little 2 year old girl. The most stubborn but fun loving little girl who I absolutely love for her strong willed personality (already at 2). She’s a happy little girl although since starting nursery she’s been forever poorly and had so many ear infections that it’s made her a completely different little girl.
We had her 2 year check and I expressed my concerns for a lack of speech and the fact she doesn’t pretend play. Also the fact she’s become an awful sleeper and doesn’t eat at nursery (but these 2 things ha aren’t my main worries).
I try my my best to help her with speech daily, reading lots to her, sing nursery rhymes etc but she doesn’t show any signs of speech and I’m getting so worried because other mums with babies her age (& younger) are all speaking so much and seem to play with one another too.
My little girl is happy outdoors, getting dirty and being inquisitive. Pretend play just doesn’t happen and neither does playing with crafts.
Nursery have said she’s much an outdoorsy person (in other worlds she doesn’t sit down for more than 2 mins)!
Should I be worried should I just trust she’ll do things on her own time?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate anyone who reads this post and takes the time out to reply.
