Hey all! 
New here and first post and probably a long one so bare with me
I'm just hoping someone can offer reassurance/advice.
I always feel like I'm in some way worried about my daughter (almost 7 months) nothing major, but worried nevertheless.
Throughout pregnancy I was told my daughter would be a huge baby too big to deliver and she had to much brain fluid so expect she may have disabilities. A 37 week fetal MRI showed the brain fluid had decreased to just within normal range and she was born a healthy much smaller than expected 8lb 13oz.
Breastfeeding started well, by day 10 my daughter is weight 9lb 5oz. Then feeding just went wrong. Months of screaming all night long, milk presumably drying up because she weren't feeding enough, bottle and all formula refusal and one very hungry baby.
Gp push and pushed until the hospital saw her on a emergency basis as at 4 months old she was looking worse for wear and only weighing just over ten pounds. She was given special nutritional milk for weight gain and thankfully she did take it, she started to improve. Fast forward to now and she's weighing 15lb 7oz(25th centile) and I am of course elated.
Her last ped check up appointment she mentioned babies head is still very large (99th centile) and that her soft spot is also still very large. I didn't even get the chance to go into this, I'm not even sure what that means?
My mum babysat her which she wouldn't usually do and mentioned she doesn't feel my daughter is where she should be. Mentioning how she hasn't said any words, she makes noise but not Manama ect. She can't sit up, doesn't turn to noise and struggles to wean. Particularly can't handle anything more than a purée.
I hadn't really noticed but now I feel like I'm worrying again. She is actually managing to slowly build on textures this week. However the rest of it, I've been testing her and she's right she doesn't turn to noise no matter how many different tones/pitches/ words or sounds I use.
She can hear I think because she seems to engage when we are in front of her, laughs ect but I don't know if that's just the expressions or what we are saying. Although she does prefer touching style play (tickles, blowing raspberries on her body, blowing on her hair ect) when we speak to hear she just shakes her head until she's dizzy.
I'm so sorry this is so long and if anyone actually reads through it all and replies then thank you so much.
I just need to calm my anxieties. I have another child, he is almost 3 and I never worried about him at all (more than the usuals) but this time is so different.
Please tell me I'm not alone!!!
