Hi @Mas05
I love hearing the positive outcomes.
So my son is going to be 10 months on the 13th he was born 3 weeks early, he sits well unsupported and will reach for toys but HATES being on his tummy, he just pulls himself back into sitting, has just learnt how to crawl and can pull to stand with ease, struggles to sit back down though, just stays standing until we get him back down.
he is not babbling like the other babies, makes occasional noises and screams but no babbles Ma, baba or dada.
His eye contact is okay ish, doesn’t copy us or clap, wave or point. EVERYTHING goes straight into his mouth, wants to lick and bite everything.
Sleeps and eats well, I feed him I can’t deal with the BLW mess🙈
He will bang his hand on table if I do it, and can bang two objects together.
I feel like a terrible mother and im at the very end of the rope. We read together, sing, babble, all day long.
when I make the mama movement with my mouth with no sound he copies that movement with his mouth but no sounds if that makes sense.
Smiles when he sees me/husband or other family members, can lift arms to be picked up and will use me to pull to stand up.
I find he twirls his arms/feet occasionally and kicks legs really fast when lying down, and stares at the door handles and lamp in my room.
I am at the end of my tether, HV seems to think I have health anxiety.
He has no separation anxiety and I feel he stares into blank spaces at times.
will smile if I say smile, and looks at where I point at times, 70% will look when I call his name, if he isn’t engrossed in something.
Will watch me do the actions to heads shoulders, knees and toes but can’t mimic any songs or actions.
will lift arms up to come to me or my other family members, if he drops a toy will look where it’s fallen.
my main concern is lack of babbling and the no gestures!
Sorry for the long post!
