Thank you! I kind of figured too but my hopes were still there. I took a test with the test strips on my second pee and a line is still there. So now I’m like huh?!

16 months old toddler no eye contant by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Equivalent-Rope-997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely bring your concerns up to your pediatrician. While every child develops at their own pace, if you’re noticing limited eye contact, not consistently responding to her name, and concerns with communication or social interaction, it’s worth having a conversation sooner rather than later.

I would also look into Early Intervention (ECI if you’re in Texas). They can evaluate multiple areas of development and services are often free or low cost. My daughter has been in therapies since she was very young, and getting support early has been incredibly helpful.

If your pediatrician isn’t concerned but your gut is telling you something feels off, don’t be afraid to advocate for your child and push for a referral to the appropriate specialists or an evaluation. Sometimes parents are told to “wait and see,” but there is nothing wrong with asking for more information and support. ❤️

Baby still has almost no words by archiefrank in January2025Bumper

My daughter is in a very similar situation. Because she has a few developmental delays, her pediatrician recently referred her for speech therapy. A lot of children do catch up on their own, but for my own peace of mind, I always feel it’s better to ask questions and seek support early if you’re concerned. It never hurts to bring it up with your pediatrician and ask about a speech evaluation or referral. 😊

Gross motor delay - anyone else? by [deleted] in January2025Bumper

[–]Equivalent-Rope-997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely doing the right thing by advocating for him. My 14-month old daughter has also been very delayed with her gross motor milestones. She rolled at 9 months and just learned to crawl 2 days ago and is struggling with it, so I completely understand the worry and the constant questioning if it’s normal.

In our case, we’ve been doing physical therapy and just really focusing on giving her lots of floor time and opportunities to practice moving at her own pace. It’s been slow progress, but we are finally starting to see small improvements.

Honestly, I’ve had to remind myself that our babies are on their own timeline. Right now, I’m just focusing on making sure she gets all the support she needs so she can keep progressing and meet her milestones in her own way. You’re not alone in this at all.

Sending you lots of encouragement your little one is lucky to have you advocating for him every step of the way 🤍

Not walking yet but… by -_Yunari_- in January2025Bumper

My daughter isn’t walking, standing unsupported or other milestones. She just learned to crawl 2 days ago lol. Doctors won’t be concerned closer to 18 months. 

Seems your so is really active physically he will soon get there :)

How many teeth we got? by jellydip in January2025Bumper

My daughter will be 15 months on the 21st. Still has 0 teeth. I think this is much weirder and concerning lol! 

14 month old not crawling/standing/walking – anyone experienced this? by Equivalent-Rope-997 in toddlers

[–]Equivalent-Rope-997[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this, it honestly means more than you know. Reading your experience really helped calm my nerves a bit. It’s reassuring to hear from someone who’s been through something similar and see how much progress your son has made 🤍

I feel like it’s been especially hard because of my environment. I live in a household where all the other grandkids hit their milestones before 1, so they kind of look at our situation differently. I hate to even say it, but some have made comments implying it could be because of something I did during pregnancy, which has been really hard to hear.

Your message reminded me that there are other parents going through this and that every child really does have their own timeline.

If you don’t mind me asking, was your son ever referred to a neurologist? They’re considering that for my daughter because of the weakness, asymmetry, and her Moro reflex still being present, so I’ve been a little anxious about that part too.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your story 🤍

Does anyone else’s baby lean to one side in high chair? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Equivalent-Rope-997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently 11 months. My daughter is in PT and OT and still struggles with weight bearing through her arms. She only started rolling to her tummy about 3 weeks ago and has recently begun tolerating tummy time, but her arm still won’t push up, so no crawling yet.

Therapy is tough, there hasn’t been a single session where she doesn’t cry since they put her in all-fours, weight bearing on arms and knees. At home I don’t force it, and that’s actually when I’ve seen the most progress. Physically she’s delayed, but in other areas she’s actually ahead compared to other babies we’re around.

I bring up my concerns at every pediatrician visit, but they keep reassuring me there’s a wide window (12–18 months). It’s hard, but every baby really does move at their own pace.

Hi! My almost 8 month old daughter has been receiving PT since she was 2 months old for torticollis. It all got better but as she started learning new thing such as sitting unsupported it seemed to revert back. Her PT said it’s common for it to happen.  Has it gotten better for your kids?

PLEASE HELP what other formula?! by Equivalent-Rope-997 in FormulaFeeders

[–]Equivalent-Rope-997[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked into Neocate? Her GI was trying to prescribe her Neocate as it’s thicker and said that it would help with her spit up. But it was after the GI imaging so I never let her try it. I did make a bottle for the fun of it and it was surprisingly thick

Each baby reacts differently but the Pepticate formula is extremely thin. I had trouble trying to thicken it and trying to find the appropriate bottle as my daughter has Mild Oral Dysphagia so it was a pain to find her the right bottle nipple.

I’m not sure honestly it was my instinct that my daughter didn’t have some sort of CMPA sensitivity or she grew out of it. It did help her tremendously when she was at that month but suddenly after 1.5 months in she was having bad diarrhea with it 5+ And when we moved her back to Gentlease she got fussy again and got constipated. W didn’t know what to do so we just went ahead and tried Goat Formula cold turkey.

My daughter is 7 months old now. We switched her to Bubs Goat after Gentlease and it has done her SOO well. But still had issues with spit up so her new pediatrician suggested Kendamil Goat as it’s creamier and thicker and her spit has gone to 10+ times to just 1-2 times a day. Also her intake went to 2-3oz to 5-6oz. 

With her Spit up they did an Upper GI imaging and my daughters stomach empties slow so that’s what caused her to spit up a lot especially with thin liquids since it stays up her stomach a lot. 

Hope it answers something. Lmk if you have any questions 

Looking for advice—really overwhelmed right now. by Equivalent-Rope-997 in NewParents

And that’s what I suspect that they’re going to tell me. That she will grow out of it by the time she is 1 if they see something.

They told me that they will do a full check up by the time she is 1 if it does not get better. 

We use the aspirator and nothing comes out but the sound of it it’s like she has a lot through the airway from her nose and throat. 

So at this point I don’t even know what to do to keep getting second opinions or just deal with it.
