I have posted before about my DS, he is a lovely, adorable 11 month old, a year old in two weeks. He is my fifth DC, his siblings are all much much older. We all love him so much.
He has been referred to a paediatrician as he isn’t hitting his milestones in terms of movement. He doesn’t roll onto his stomach when on his back, he will roll off his stomach into his back because he hates tummy time. He can now sit unaided but obviously no attempts at crawling etc.
It seems like there have been never ending minor issues with him. From his difficult birth, reflux, tongue tie, hip worries and now his development. He currently has a nasty stye on his upper eyelid and just as we are getting that to heal, is developing one on his lower eyelid. On antibiotic eye drops and oral antibiotics.
I just feel like a bad mum all the time. He is so tetchy just now that the only thing that will keep him calm is watching baby Einstein videos on tv. I do anything to try to help him with rolling etc and he has what I can only describe as tantrums already.
He currently sleeps in his cot with a grobag and a sheet tucked over the top with his arms underneath. I did this with all of mine whilst the Moro reflex was still a thing and by six months they could pull their arms out and suck on a comforter to self soothe. DS5 still hasn’t pulled his arms out and if I try leaving them out he gets totally hysterical.
I don’t think I am parenting him any different to my older four but it was such a long time ago, I can’t remember. His older brother is autistic but ds4 was always a really happy baby that hit his milestones.
Just finding it really hard and worried his delays are my fault.
