What to expect on first appointment?

My son has his first ever actual appointment for Speech Therapy and Occupational therapy. He doesn't eat or talk and is constantly wanting milk, and pediasure at night because he doesn't eat. What can I expect to happen on the first appointment and what questions should I ask?

Possible autism.

Hey mamas. My baby had her first meeting with infant and toddler yesterday. They played with and evaluated her. They said she has multiple areas of delay and need to be tested for autism. It’s just so scary to think about. I want the best for my babe. She also has CMV which can cause developmental delays so this was...

Super clingy

Anyone else’s 1 year old all of a sudden chasing you everywhere and wanting to be picked up? Even getting up off the sofa she will run at my legs. Before she would happily independently play.

Hitting and pulling hair.

My little angel boy has turned into a physcopath these last couple of days. Screaming, wanting to pull my hair, grabbing and smacking my face. He’s one in a couple of weeks. How do I deal with this? I say no and he literally laughs in my face. Is this normal? Or am I doomed 🤔🤣

Tantrum Control

My nearly 2 year old definitely tantrums by wanting a hug. Like when he doesn't get his way he cries and asks for a hug. He will stop crying as soon as I pick him up. No other reward. My oldest did the classic throw self on floor and we just ignored him and got past tantrums really fast. Should I ignore my 2 year ol...

Tantrums

Anyone else’s child kicking off 25/8? I don’t know how much I can cope with the constant tantrums, gentle parenting has unfortunately gone out of the window as I’m finding him so incredibly annoying. I feel awful writing that but I can’t help it, he’s a wonderful and lovely little boy but Jesus Christ man it’s just ...

Screaming toddler

I don’t know if it’s just my lil bubba but all she does now is shout and scream and cry for everything and anything. Literally since going to nursery she’s developed this strange habit of thinking she can get anything she wants with screaming!

Crawling

My 4 1/2 month old shows a lot of interest in crawling and is also always pushing up on his feet to stand. When he tries to crawl he doesn’t use his arms and just inch worms forward. If he’s refusing to support his body on his arms is something wrong? Even when I place toys a little higher up for him to grab he won’...
