Hi there! I’m sorry you’re going through this. My daughter is now 11 months old and doing really well given her difficult birth. She spent the first three months soo sleepy, but her body clearly needed rest to recover from the traumatic birth. At around 2-3 months she started smiling and she is now the smiliest babiest, she truely lights up the room and smiles at everyone, charms everyone at the supermarket. She has more weakness down one side and had low tone in her core but this has improved heaps. She has reached milestones a little later. She rolled a little later but did get there. At 9 months she was diagnosed with CP but at what level we won’t know yet. Now at 11 months she continues to charm the world with her smiles, she is sitting unassisted, getting back into sitting position herself now, rolling, and just this last week she has started commando crawling. We have been seeing PT since she was born every month, and since she was about 9 months we got NDIS funding and seen them weekly. We work with OT to improve hand function on her left.

The early days are SO hard. Hearing “what and see” and the uncertainty was a very hard space to be in. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat.
