Hello,
I’ve been reading lots of posts on here and thought I’d make my own as I’m desperate for some advice.
I have a 3 month old son who I am terribly worried about.
He rarely cries - has been the same since birth. In the last few weeks he has started to “fuss” (moan and wriggle) when something is not to his liking, but that’s about it. He’s very “easy”, and people’s comments about this is what got me worried.
His eye contact is not good. When on someone’s lap he will look everywhere but at them. He will engage with other people in the room - smiling and looking right at them - but they have to be at a little distance. When lying down on his changing mat or in his basket he also engages a bit better.
He started cooing a few weeks ago and was doing it lots for a week or so but has now gone quieter.
I feel that he is not meeting some other milestones either :
Brings his hands together and puts them in his mouth but yet to really look at them.
Still has his “stepping reflex” which I understand should have home by now.
He’s a gorgeous boy - loves looking around, tracks objects well, laughs when we sing or dance, feeds well.
I’m just so desperate to help him and professionals are only saying “wait and see”. Does anyone have recommendations for what I can be doing with him? We would pay for any intervention if it could help him.
Did anyone have a child who was similar at this age, and how did they get on?
Many many thanks.
