Poor attendance won't be held against you in terms of an ehc as it can indicate issues which means it's difficult for her to attend. This in turn helps to highlight that their are SEN needs

okay thankyou I just worry so much and it carnt be helped 🙃 and I have no formal letters to support her needs as we are at start of are journey ❤️

You will need to be prepared to go to tribunal regardless. They refused my preverbal child an ehcp and my son with autism who has very challenging behaviour. Sendiass can be useful and ipsea. Personally I wouldn’t bother with mediation.

what grounds was their refusal? I need to start the EHCP process before he starts school. I know that nursery are amazing with meet his needs and supporting him but I’m petrified of him going to school.

that they wanted to see how my son did with the strategies in place first. We then got a notice in lieu as he didn’t meet the levels needed. He did however have his own 1-1 paid for by the school throughout reception.
My daughter they didn’t consider her to have special educational needs despite being preverbal and no one understanding her.
LA conceded all three times. We also won a separate appeal for an sen school place for my son.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
