Hello all
First time poster here and I feel like a trespasser as I am a Dad on Mumsnet!!
I am worried about my our little girl and I am wondering if there is anyone out there who has been in a similar situation...
Our daughter turned 2 last month and she has ALWAYS been behind her milestones.
She didn't roll over until 1
Didn't crawl until 15 months
Only started walking with a tonne of help by 18 months
She was small at birth and has remained small since (5th percentile head size, 10th percentile height).
Her language skills are the fresh worry in that she does not say a word, not one (at 25 months). She doesn't seem to recognise or react to any words either, for example if I ask her to point at a Dog in a book she has no idea what I am saying.
No luck with any commands either, if I say 'pass me the ball' she has no idea what that means.
Its so worrying watching her around other kids who are practically juggling and playing the violin by comparison (those parents do not know how lucky they are).
She was assessed at 19 months and was on the verge of global development delay but not quite. I think if she was assessed today she would be as she has hardly progressed since.
One thing she has got is a high level of calcium in her blood, further tests have been sent off but I was wondering if anyone had experience of this. Did it cause development delay for you? Did it improve?
I thought high calcium was good but have since learnt it is not.
Thanks in advance
