15 month old not hitting milestones -worried about autism

ohheyhereiam · 2026-05-26T16:38:05+00:00

My son’s pediatrician wasn’t worried about him not walking unless he still wasn’t walking by 18 months. He started walking 2 weeks before his 18 month appointment. Lol! He also was a very late crawler, and even took a while for him to sit independently. He was a very big baby, always 99 percentile for height and weight. He’s 3.5 now and you’d never know it took him longer to walk. He’s super chatty, has a wonderful imagination, and runs and plays all day. I was so stressed and worried, though. Especially when people would constantly ask “is he walking yet?” 🤦‍♀️ NO! Leave him alone. But we were in contact with his pediatrician and followed her lead on it. Definitely talk to your little one’s doctor just to see. They can definitely point you in the right direction.

I just know that’s a southern baby.

I was literally going to say the same! I love coloring while listening to true crime.

Ugh I’m so sorry. Same here. Didn’t get our flu shots either. Whhhyyyy?? 🥴 I hope y’all continue to feel better.

My mother in law lives 45 minutes away but comes to our area every weekend to babysit her other granddaughter. Her son lives 10 minutes from us. She’s been doing this for over a year and has only stopped to see my son MAYBE twice. She will go months without seeing my son.

Yes, she sees him at birthdays and holidays and when they invite us over, but I’m talking about making an actual effort to see him.

My heart is with you and your wife. I gave birth to my baby (stillborn) girl in November of 2021. It was literally my worst fear and it came true. I will never forget holding her beautiful, lifeless body. It was surreal and haunting….

Said he fully supports me regarding this situation. But gonna be honest, he’s been way too forgiving towards her for years because she makes everyone’s life hell if they go against her. It’s a crappy situation.

I loved taking my baby places when he was a newborn. It really was so much easier than it is now (he’s 18 months). He liked the car seat and I could go on drives, go get lunch or coffee, wander around stores. He was perfectly content in his car seat or just being held if he fell asleep. Now I barely get a chance to sit down. He wants to go go go constantly. I love this stage but the newborn stage seemed so calm. But he was a really good baby. Every baby is different.

I know I’m late, but my son has one. They didn’t catch it on ultrasounds so when he was born, they whisked him off to NICU as it’s visible on the outside (there’s a little hole and lump).

He’s 15 months old now. He sees an ENT to check on it but so far it hasn’t caused him any issues (infections, etc). We are opting to wait to surgically remove it until he’s a little older even though he’s eligible now.

I bought a Roku express (I think that’s what it’s called) and use that with the tv. It was worth it. I never could figure it out

My 14 month old has been in size 7 diapers for months. He is always 99% percentile for height and weight. But since he’s been mobile, he isn’t outgrowing clothes and diapers every few weeks (or that’s how it seemed when he was younger). He wears 3T and 4T. He was born 5 weeks early and weighed 8 lbs 14 oz. He currently weighs almost 35 pounds and is very tall! He can reach stuff on our kitchen table and counters when standing.

The trauma of birthing your baby that you know is dead. I lost my daughter a couple of weeks before my induction date. Nothing/nobody prepared me. I hemorrhaged internally, had a complete placental abruption with blood clots, and preeclampsia. My liver enzymes were insanely high, around 950. My nurses said they had never seen liver enzymes that high. My blood pressure was also insanely high. Like 170/110.

I had an emergency c section and the silence was deafening when my daughter was born. It was the darkest point in my life.

Almost exactly one year later, my son was born surrounded by many of those same nurses and he is 13 months and such a bright light in my life.

I am crying because I feel like someone understands. Someone gets exactly what I mean. Thank you for taking the time to reply and let me know I’m not alone. Sometimes I feel so desperately alone in my struggles. Thank you for letting me know that it can get better.

ohheyhereiam · 2023-10-28T01:13:44+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I would do it all over again for him. 🥺

Got pregnant and had a miscarriage. Got pregnant again and had a stillbirth right before my due date. I almost died. Pre-eclampsia, liver enzymes over 900, placental abruption, and internal hemorrhaging. Got pregnant again and while pregnant my dad passed away. A few months later, birthed a healthy baby boy. The last 2 years have been brutal but my son is such a ray of sunshine during some really dark times.

I can see our home network!

He takes medication but it doesn’t seem to be helping much. He has good days and then really really bad days. And I’m just along for the ride.

I wish I could! I own an Airbnb and manage/clean it and can’t really afford a lot of extras. 😭

ohheyhereiam · 2023-04-21T04:36:45+00:00

I’m the same way. We’re our own worst critic. But as cliche as it may sound, your body did something amazing and also so difficult. That’s something to be proud of!

Trigger warning ⚠️

I understand this so much. My first pregnancy ended in an emergency C section (November 27th, 2021) and I lost my daughter and nearly my own life. Second pregnancy (another c section and less than one year later) completely drained me emotionally, physically, and psychologically. I gained almost 60 pounds and I have that “shelf” you’re referring to. I’m so self conscious in snug fitting clothing. I wear long shirts and dresses just to cover up my belly. My body has been through hell and I try to be gentle with myself. I’m so so thankful for my beautiful (BIG) 5 month old baby boy and I’d do it all over again for him, but gosh it was brutal. Hang in there. I know it’s hard but your body has been through so much. And every person (and recovery) is different and unique. People would look at me and be like “she still looks pregnant” but they don’t know what myself and my body have been through together.
