Would just like to hear other mums advice & experiences with this,my daughter who is 2 at the end of March,is not yet walking or talking.She is seeing the hospital paed & having physio & speech & language therapy.She has progressed on the walking front & is now pulling herself up on the furniture & walking along,but cannot stand un-aided.No progress on the talikng though,which is a worry,she just grunts & points abit!!She is going for chromosomal abnormality bloods & a hip x-ray next week & if no improvement in 4 months,the paed said she will have to have an MRI scan at AlderHey.I am so worried,but she is a very bright girl otherwise(her social skills are spot on!!).Any other mums with this problem,I would love to hear from you,thanks!

Just wanted to send you lots of hugs, I totally emphathize with you. My son has similar problems but it is so hard to get the help you need. I feel sick with worry over all this. Hopefully someone else will have some more advice for us.

My son had problems learning to walk and talk. He had orthopedic problems and severe glue ear. Has your lo had a hearing test?

We found that it took about 6 months before we got noticible results with physio.

There has been some delay with her hearing test,hoping to get an appt through soon,but I don't think she has a problem with her hearing.
Thanks for your support!!!
