DS2 is 18 months. He snores, has sleep apnoea and tracheal tug. His adenoids and tonsils are big and he needs them out ASAP. Because he's so young it needs to be done at a hospital with a paediatric icu so he's been referred and we're just waiting to hear from them.
There are some other things going on though and I wondered if they are connected or even if I should worry about them at all...
He's recently lost weight. HV asked me to bring him back in 2 weeks which I did last week and he'd gained weight but only 3oz and was still slipping down the centiles. He's now around the 9th centile despite being on the 91st when he was born and being on the 50% for months. He doesn't seem to have much of an appetite and also prefers to bf rather than eat.
Apart from when he had constipation he's never had a solid poo. It's always mushy and quite often smells pretty vile.
Recently he's started wanting water in the night (this started before the weather got warmer). I'm not sure if he's waking cos he's thirsty or using the cup to suck on as a way of getting back to sleep. But he's getting through about a cup of water a night.
Lastly, and I'm pretty sure this isn't related but I'll put it in because it worries me. He doesn't talk. Not a single word and he doesn't attempt to either. He makes a wide range of noises but no words and never a consistent sound for the same thing iyswim. We do baby signing so with signs and pointing he makes himself understood and he clearly understands what's said to him.
Am I being a paranoid mum? Clearly he has a problem with his tonsils and adenoids but am I overthinking the rest?
