Hi
Just joined hoping for some advice/guidance.
My 2 year old son as I said is not Officially diagnosed all the different agencies we have been speaking to believe it is a high possibility that this is the case. My son was 6 weeks early and we were in hospital for a week. And all though, thankfully, he left healthy there was a point where they thought he may need an operation, and he was under the lamp and things like that. As time went on he wasn't necessarily meeting his milestones in the way Some people think he should, but he wasn't far off and once he got going that was him, there was no stopping him. He did start to be verbble round about your average age and said the usual mum, Dad, no, babbling etc. Then things changed maybe about a year or so ago and he seemed to be regressing. He was still communicating either physically or verbally in his way but not the way he had. He also started pulling me constantly n taking mini meltdowns although they are not as bad now. He has always spend most of his time with me but also had a good bond with his dad. Now tho he won't go with anyone except me. I am taking him to different toddlers groups to help with that and I have also been doing classes where he is in the creche (room next to me) n this seems to be helping a little. I know it will rake time and I think the things I am doing will hopefully help. Although any other suggestions would be great fully received. My main concern right now is his eating. Ge went from eating most things and a reasonable healthy appetite to more or less only eating toast and butter n sandwiches with dairylea unless ots junk food like crisps n chocolate. I constantly offer different options but he's just not interested. I have spoke to my health visitor and GP and they are not overally concerned at the moment. Has anyone got any tips or advice please? Feel like I have tried everything but u never know.
I should maybe mention that I have recently become a single mother and have no family. Small group of great friends but they can only do so much as they have there own families. Obviously this will have had an impact on him but these things were happening long before this has just made some of them worse I think n doing it on my own is so draining. I am surprising myself tho at how much I am managing . Just hoping by joining this community I can get some help n advice from people in similar situations.
Thanks for taking the time to read and thanks in advance to any replies.
