Rough day.

Just had an evaluation for my son. They said he has a speech delay and probably a sensory processing disorder. I’m a little frazzled with processing this information. A picture of my sweet boy.

He’s the cutest little cherub 💙 I know it’s a lot but a diagnosis makes it so much easier to access all the therapies. He will thrive! Def look into speech and OT to help with sensory needs :)

Yeah, he had his evaluation today. He’s 19 months with no words. I have a follow up meeting next week. I worked for many years as an ABA therapist. I’m just frazzled that he might not catch up. And I know it’s no big deal if he does or doesn’t it’s just stressful thinking of all the stuff that we might have to go through.

I understand how it feels! My son was diagnosed with autism, global developmental delay and I think one other thing. My sons sensory issues are so bad that he has to be on a toddler formula because he refuses to eat real food. Occupational and physical therapy have really helped him thought and I’m hopeful he will be crawling right after his 2 birthday!

My son has speech delay and a sensory processing disorder. He was diagnosed at 18 months. He is 12 now and thriving. He’s kind, musical, intelligent… the only way it held him back was socially, when he was young and other kids didn’t understand him but now he has friends. He is still in therapies and has an IEP. There’s light at the end of the tunnel 💕

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
