My 17 month DD been refered to see paeds due to delay in development. Late to sit unaided roughly just before 1st birthday. Cant yet stand as cant bear weight on her legs and left foot turns in when flat. doesnt crawl either,is bum shuffling like a pro though! she also has squints in both eyes. and was once mentioned to me by Dr that she doesnt seem to use her left arm and leg so much? was awaiting op for pyloric stenosis at time. is any of these ive listed reminisant of the signs of CP? just wanted a rough idea before we got to appt. also another thing that plauges me is she doesnt laugh? smileing lots but not laughing..any response much appreciated. thanks..
