head lag

[Kerrie34]

hi my 11 wk old was referred to child development center for head lag not lifting head forward. they want to get bloods done. the doc pointed out a few things like to big a gap from nose to mouth thin upper lip strange cry & he's a bit short. any mum's got anything like this & what was outcome x

Just bumping this up for you, maybe someone who knows something will be able to help you.

Hi Kerrie, my ds2 had a significant head lag & took a long while to develop any control.
In his case there was an obvious cause (was very prem & has CP).
If a baby is showing delays in any area it is good that they are checked out early & part of that is looking for a cause, so they will note any thing that COULD point towards a genetic cause or a known condition.
My son had genetic testing as the doc noticed he has a number of birth marks, was particularly hairy, has unusual shaped ears & earlobes.
His genetic tests came back clear, he is just hairy with funny ears!
So I guess what I am saying in that its good they are looking at causes, the things they have noted may be something or nothing, his head control may just improve naturally.
Stay away from google, I'm sure if you put in the list of things you describe you could diagnose all sorts of conditions & its likely to not be accurate.
The waiting is horrid, so take care of yourself

haven't been on Google put it on here to c what information came back. I'm hoping its nothing. so glad ur lo was OK. keeping fingers crossed. if there is a problem lo will still b loved & cherished as he is today maybe even more if that's possible x
