... cause I'm not really, but we have a check up coming up and I know his doctor will be and I want to know how to respond.
13 month old ds, is still breastfed on the demand, and eats a ton during the day but he has no interest in feeding himself in any way shape or form. Nor will he accept food from any utensil, he will only eat table food if he is finger fed. he also has never drank from a cup or sippy cup, and is completly uninterested and refuses to let bring one anywhere near his mouth, nor will he do it himself. as a general rule though he very very rarely since birth has put anything in his mouth other than his hand. Oh and he also showed no interest in food till his teeth came in at about 10 months.
Another potential concern is that he really doesn't use any words yet. he sometimes walks towards me and says mama, but i can' tell for sure if he means since it comes so sporadically. he used to say "hi" in context at about 8 monthes but when he started crawling. He does use jargon a lot and "talks" to us a lot.
He doesn't yet wave, but he never really sees it done either. And he points to things that he likes or is inntersted in, but i think he does that for himself and not to communicate at all.
I personally am not worried about any of these things yet, i think they will resolve in time. Really what concerns me the most is the eating/ drinking, cause i have not personally met another babay that does that. But as far as speech and communication goes, kids the family tend to be on the slower side and then just have a speech explosion. dss didn't only said a few words till nearly four and then almost overnight started speaking in full out sentences.
I know that my doctor will be concerned though, cause he was very concerned that ds didn't have a pincer grasp at his 9 month check up. Just wondering if he is over worrying or am i underconcerned.
