Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Hi Everyone, I sit here while my 2 boys sleep (yes they sleep at the same time, a great blessing) suddenly concerned about my almost 12 month old. My 2 1/2 yr old JAck has Oral Apraxia, si and mild pdd. When Jack was an infant he did babble alot, held his head up, rolled over, crawled, walked etc. at all the appropriate times sometimes early. I was talking to my sister today who has 2 girls both 3-4 months younger than my 2 boys. She was saying that her 8 month old is saying DADA and all of a sudden I thought oh is not doing that at almost 12 months. her oldest who is 27 months was also doing this at 8 months and now speaks in full sentences. Jack did babble but only MAMA came at 11 months and stopped. I am extremely concerned that I may be dealing with another child that may have some speech delay. He too has also hit every milestone on time and some very early. Although he is not taking steps yet, he does cruise the furniture, and actually JAck was taking lots of steps at this time. I know I should not compare them with each other or with other children but I guess it is just hard with all we go through. I wonder if I should have evaluated now, and since no 2 children with Apraxia are alike what should I be looking for? That may seem like a stupid ? but I am still new to this diagnosis. Is it possible to give the children's efa's now. I give Jack the pro efa but have a bottle of the children's with just omega 3. is almost 12 months 27 lbs and 31 1/2 " yes a very big boy, who I pray everyday that he starts walking because my arms are getting very tired LOL!!!! Thank you all for any advice especially from parents with more than 1 child with apraxia. Sincerely, Eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
