Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. Olivia is 7 1/2 months already! She recently had an eye appt and we were told she needs to wear glasses! A stigmatism in both eyes and her left eye is crossing. Hopefully the glasses will help. She should get them this week. The challenge is going to be to keep them on her! Has anyone experienced head dropping with their infants? Olivia has been doing this since about 5 months. She'll be sitting up and just drop her head. We have a neurology appointment coming up, but I don't think it's seizure related, as she is not showing any other signs. I was told that it's common for kids with DS to do this type of behavior because their neck muscles tend to be weak. I know of only one other person that has experienced this. If you have experienced this, how long does it last? Is there anything we can do to help her build muscle? Our EI is going to consult with a PT.
