Sally!!!
have 3 main concerns for Brendan right now. 1) his ears, it's infection after infection atm and we are still yet to hear from the ENT about an appointment. 2) his weight and bowels, he has been the same weight for 12 months now and has never really had a firm poo (sorry for the tmi) I am under the impression that he has some kind of intolerance, but again the Dr here has said the paed is the best person to talk to, which is not till May. And 3) School.. I'm concerned that because he is already well behind his peers, he is going to be left further behind. And I realise that school is not for another year, and a lot can happen between now and then, but enrolments are in Aug!
I nearly dropped to the floor when I read that....

Matilda did not gain weight between 12mths and 24 months. She lost some weight before that as well. She did not do a formed poo until she was over 3 years old. At 3 yrs old, she was diagnosed with a cow milk protein allergy, and we went off all milk in our diets and... a month later she started doing normal poos and gaining weight. Maybe while you wait try to go off milk? See if that helps, at least drinking milk... Cook milk can change some proteins not all, but that often is all that you need to do. It can't hurt!!!

tan, I hear you. That is what I felt throughout all that assessment process again recently. It was stressful.

butterflypirate, Matilda has issues all the time with wee. Apparently its common for kids with sensory issues to know when they need to do a wee, so suddenly they are busting and haven't realised and don't make it to the toilet. Matilda is nearly 6, and is fine during the day now (for the past month) but is no where near night trained.
