My thread from 6months ago about my conecerns about ds3 was in ;chat' and is gone
I wanted to update as many folks gave me some brilliant support.
DS3 truned 1 a few weeks ago. He sat up around 9 ish months eventually but I could not leave himunattended until around 11 months. At 11 months he began to commando crawl and a few weeks later he began to crawl properly. He is now cruising round the furniture at lightning speed and can stand unaided. He can climb the stairs and thinks he can walk. He is not far off. In terms of gross motor skills, I am no longer worried.
Food is still a HUGE isssue. He is getting better but as with you lovely folk who supported me months ago, I am finding thicker purees are the way o go rather than 'lumps'. He can handle some lumps but I hae to be very careful. He LOVES toast but, despite me persisting, can only handle small parts around the size of my thumb nail, at a time. I am in touch with HV and am asking for a referral to SALT with food specialism.
Follow up with PAeds ins in November where Iwill push food thing. I have watched and watched himand I can't work out whether it is a swallowing thing or a chewing/oro-motor thing or a combination or neither.
Some other gorgeous things about him. I have been doing some baby signing with him (as with his brothers) but have been pushing it with d3 just in case....
He can reliably sign: more, all done, please/thank you, yes, no, DS1, ds2 (both of which he does regulalry when they are at school) and 'love you'
he is fabulous
