I had a doctor tell me I was a month and a half farther along then I originally was told with my first. My first doctor went based on my last period but I had to switch doctors because I moved towns. The new doctor told me I was a knot and a half farther a long which made no sense because I wasn't with anyone then.
There are several possibilitis - they include a cataract, amblyopia, or retinal disorder or rarely retinoblastoma, as you have read. Hopefully, everything will turn out well. You know when you see pictures where people have red pupils - that is the reflection of light bouncing off the retina which has a reddish hue. It that looks white or gray rather than red in pictures, it could be a sign of significant abnormality.
Alot of children walk after 14 months old, and actually babbling Mama and dada is good, when he bites his hand he is showing frustration at something prior to that, what happens that makes him do it, when you see him start to do that Distract him with a game or a Toy do not make an issue out of it., sometimes children do negative things because it gets them attention.
Thank you, but unfortunately due to scheduling issues I won't be able to take him to the ped for 2 weeks and am quite nervous in the meantime. Can u tell me if at 6 months all normal babies can mimic? Thanks.
Oh ok thanks so much ladies I just been wondering like when I would show and when the baby will be at the top of my tummy I want to buy a fetal doppler but I'm scared I would be able to tell the difference between my heartbeat and the baby....have you all ever tried it?
It's definitely better to go by weeks. If people ask just politely tell them weeks is more accurate and how many weeks you are.
You should discuss this with his parents. They can discuss this with the pediatrician.

[edit] Chromosome problems
Genetic counseling is often recommended to provide more information about fetal CPCs, to answer questions and concerns, and to outline available options such as amniocentesis. There is a possible association between ultrasound-detected fetal CPCs and chromosome problems in the baby. Types of chromosome problems that are occasionally seen include Trisomy 18[2][3] or Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome).[4]
Generally the risks are low if there are no other risk factors.
Ask about being on progesterone your levels shouldn't drop they should be rising progesterone helps with that it's good for all around fetal development and it strengthens your uterus and cervix ask about it right away to see if that is an option for you good luck mama
I was always told it was ok, but now I hear that it's not. Best bet would be to ask ur doctor! To me it's not worth the risk of baby being born with fetal alcohol syndrome. To oppose what was said above me, alcohol won't cause down syndrome, that's a chromonal defect that happens at conception.
On the side of his face that is smaller, due to the plagiocephaly, his eye and cheek are also slightly smaller (hardly noticable to the naked eye, you see it more in a mirror (2D) or pictures. The smaller eye has a pupil that dilates larger in dim lighting, but it responds normally to direct light, evenly with the other eye.
There is a fairly broad range in what is considered normal development, and it’s not unusual for a child to have brief pauses in language acquisition or the development of social skills and interactions. However, it’s just not possible to tell whether what you are describing is within the range of normal – only an in-person evaluation by a qualified professional can really answer your question.
