Common Questions and Answers about Infant speech development milestones
speech
I don't believe speech therapy is necessary for him, he may just be a quieter type of child who takes in alot from his environment, which isn't such a bad thing. For now, just do as you would normally and keep communicating with him. Encourage him to communicate with others aswell, which i'm sure you already do. I myself was a real quiet kid and wouldn't speak to anyone and was extremely shy, i just wanted to do my own thing and was happy to do so.
Are you questioning your own thyroid level and your babies development?? I'm trying to follow your question.
Concerning motor development, progression is more important than timing. If each month your infant has been getting more and more of her body off the ground -- such as going from crawling to standing to cruising (walking while holding onto furniture) -- this is a normal progression regardless of the timing.
"Your baby's doctor will focus not only on her motor development, but on the development of all her other skills, such as hand, language, and social skills.
My son is 26 months old and has been diagonised with speech development delay but now I am wondering if there is more to be concerned about. He was also slow/delayed at reaching gross motor milestones of sitting, crawling and walking. He flaps his armes when excited or agitated, and is compulsivily clean. He can be extremely affectionate one minute but then start hitting, biting and/or pulling hair.
Maybe you could try either printing some material from the Internet on normal speech development of children at given ages, or get a book at the library on toddler development and see if milestones are given, and show them. Do you think he doesn't hear, or is it simply that he is not seeming to comprehend language? If you think it might be his hearing, also see what you can find of symptoms of hearing issues in small children.
Thanks for your input! It's really appreciated. Today, I actually got him to look me in the eyes for a few seconds and sit next to me and give me a hug and kiss!!! I'm tickled pink! It was AWESOME! My daughter has a nurse come to her house for a KY program called "Every Child Succeeds." She has sent an evaluation into Head Start for autism and speech therapy, but since he's met his milestones and has exceeded most, he has been turned down for evaluation.
My son is 4 yrs old.He was born only three weeks early and was healthy.Met all milestones pretty much on time except talking.He did not talk until 3 yrs old.He has severe speech apraxia and takes speech 3 times a week.We have seen some small improvment.I also know he does not have conversations like a 4 yr old does.He doesnt ever talk about past or future,doesnt talk about ideas or really anything except in the moment type of stuff.
The first thing to consider is that at such a young age there is a great deal of variability in development and the achievement of milestones. Most of what you describe sounds very typical. My recommendation is to continue to provide him with the same experiences that you would any infant and see what happens. I am also assuming that he will being going to the pediatrician for the usual well-baby checkups. I think you can raise your concerns to the doctor and see what he or she has to say.

do you think it is a permanent development problems, will she get to the milestones, even later than other child will do
please give me your feedback on the possibilities and
Hm. Let me ask you if he met his milestones in development on time? Does he communicate in other ways with you, gesturing and pointing? I'm not sure what is going on, but I do think you keep your eye on this. You've raised other children--- so you know what to expect. Not every child is the same, of course. But you have a general idea. If these things continue, a developmental pediatrician or occupational therapist may be ideal for an evaluation.
You go by the medical way of counting. I even have a book that says things like (in big letters) Sixth week and then in little letters (Fourth week since conception). All the milestones for a developing embryo are listed using the medical way of timing a pregnancy.
Since my daughter was an infant, she has always had the need to touch me. What's wrong with that, you ask? Well, when she was nursing, she would lightly pinch the back of my arm with one hand and pinch my neck with the other. Once she turned 1 and stopped nursing, she would need to lightly press on my veins in the crease on my arm where my elbow bends or place her fingers on my vein in my neck. It doesnt hurt, but it gets a little annoying. When I move, she freaks out.
Usually the first professional to assess any child is the Speech and Language Therapist because most of these children have difficulties with speech and social interaction. If her speech is poor then that could be an avenue you could bring up because all children need sufficient communication and language skills for nursery and school otherwise they won't be able to communicate or understand what is being asked of them.
My son is 11 mths old, since the begining his milestones are fast. He started crawling, sitting on his own and standing himself taking support of furniture or a person when he completed 7 months. now my problem is he can not sit at one place, doesn't enjoy playing with toys for more than 2 min. Always want to stand up with some support and climb up to bed, sofa or any thing possible. Handling him is very tiring. He doesn't sit for eating even though he is hungry.
m not sure where your from so its probably called something different but there should be programs where you are that helps with children speech development they came to your house they will observe your child and then set up appointments depending on how much and what kind of help she needs they come to your home for the appointments so the child is comfortable there is usually no charge depending on your insurance and they will be able to tell you if she needs testing for autism and where you
As I said, a lot of these things can be just a toddler being a toddler but while we wait for our evaluations (speech, infant development) for which we have been wait listed, I'm trying to gain as much knowledge and perspective as I can so that I can better advocate for my boy.
He has been seen by a child development doctor. He has had one session of speech therapy, another in a couple of weeks. He has got an appointment with an occupational therapist next week.
I received a copy of the letter addressed to my doctor with a report from when I saw the Child development doctor that said he has mild Hypotonia???
My question is does anyone have a child like mine who has or had similar development delays and what was the outcome.
I know that there is a lot of variability to be expected. He missed the expected milestones for number of words at 15 months and 18 months-I think he was in the very small minority- this had me very worried. We took him to the speech expert and they recommended speech therapy. We did this, and pretty soon he was talking up a storm.
