Hypotonia, or low muscle tone, & developmental issues in toddlers

[Razzberry]

Hi Cece - no, we dont have to do any ongoing treatment, the paed always asks how she is going and watches her walk etc but so far (the last 7 months) hasn't been concerned so thats good.
He also sent us for a head ultrasound, Im not sure if this was related to her severe reflux, muscle tone and the fact she was high risk when I was pregnant as had high nuchal fluid but it all came back fine. I do feel that the paed always checks EVERY aspect of her development closely but he costs alot of money so Im glad things will be picked up early if need be. I am an early childhood teacher and really believe in early intervention. How old is your ds?

DS is almost 15 months and we've getting this seen to for about 3 months now. Our paed did get a head ultrasound done, however at 13ish months his fontanelle had almost closed so they couldn't get a good view of everything. What they did see was fine though. At the review the paed did say to himself more than us I think, he should have got a head X-ray, but then dropped the subject.

It's good to know your DD doesn't need any ongoing treatment. I think that's the part that scares me. I'm guessing the physics etc are looking at worse case scenario but aren't tellng me where we sit on the scale of minor to major issues. I think that's what I need soi reason know what we're dealing with.

Thanks for that info and your support.

Is it just the muscle tone issues at the moment or is he behind in other milestones as well? I think it is important to see a paed you feel comfortable with. The first one we saw when she was born was awful and made me feel like the worst mother, I am so glad we changed and have found a caring one who really listens to my concerns.

I think the main issue is muscle tone, along with some sensory issues. He's just had grommets after a few months of almost continuous ear infections, so if he's behind there we know why. Generally he is a happy and easy going little man - maybe a little too easy going because he doesn't push himself but I think that's part attitude, part muscle tone.
