Re: Regression in older baby--info anyone?

[Guest guest]

Congratulations on graduating! is 11 months and will be

graduating this Friday. We spoke to our neurosurgeon and he told us

that at this age there is less than a 1% chance of regression. I'm

sure at 21 months it must be miniscule. Hope that helps!

,

I don't think you have anything to worry about! I don't think

is at any risk of regression.

Hello,

A big yeah to all the breastfeeding mommies out there. Those first

weeks they adjust to the helmet and we adjust with nursing!

What are motarboards? Is this something they can wear after the

band?

Thanks

Hi, . A mortarboard is that flat hat that graduates wear at

the ceremony, like at high school graduation or college. I will need

something for so he doesn't freak when I take his band away!
