I know it sounds like a horrible thing to say or think but my 7 month old daughter is giving us cause for concern.She was learning things really quickly up til about January when she was 4/5 mths, but she hasnt advanced the way i was expecting. She now struggles to sit up, and flops forward, back or sideways.She has been trying to crawl since January and hasn't come on any more, she goes to nursery but doesnt appear to be learning anyhting there, she likes it but seems to have the capabilities of a 4 or 5 month child.I took her to the doctor and she said that "babies develop at their own rate but she is probably teething".
One of her pupils is red but the other isnt, i mentioned this to the doc, and she gave me eye drops for conjuctivitis (which she hasnt got).
When she was born i had a gut instinct telling me that something was wrong, but my family just told me i was mad!
Did anyone elses children appear to stop learning things, and is it a sign of something more sinister?
