[quote=Anonymous]Your BFing experience sounds very familiar (tongue tied that was unsuccessful, low muscle tone, reflux).  For us, it turned out my daughter did have a neuro disorder that manifests itself through developmental delays (very much like CP).  At that age, she also had tiny head and kept her hands fisted a ton.  HOWEVER, I'm going to tell you what is different about your kid than mine, in the hopes to provide some comfort to you.  My kid at 10 weeks could no way bear weight on her legs (still barely can at 14 months), was not smiling or interacting, could not push up at all on her tummy and had zero head control.  Also, having had my kid's head measured more times than I like to count, I can assure you the experts would say that you can really only measure head growth every 3-4 months minimum, with 6 month intervals being ideal, because the head grows so slowly that taken measurements more often leaves more room for measuring error.

I think it's great that you are on top of things and watching your son closely, but please don't freak out yet.  If he continues to hit milestones, even if slightly delayed, then hopefully that will ease your mind.  [/quote]
