[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much for the supportive replies. Re: nystagmus, the ped specifically said nay to that when I raised the odd little episodes, though I'm not sure exactly how he ruled it out. I will mention the rigidity at his four month appt. in a couple weeks, and depending on how that convo goes, will call early intervention if I think we need a second opinion.  And for 23:31, I'm so sorry you had to go through that--hope everything is ok with your son.

Im not sure if it was snark or sincere, but I do have a bit of anxiety, and though it is pretty well managed, it does make  it difficult for me to trust my gut. But as they say, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you.[/quote]

No, I think you're paranoid.

Most of what you're describing are normal baby reflexes:

Babies have barely have any neck control, that's why they hold their heads completely back.

Stop googling.  Read a book on infant development for Pete's sake and buy a different baby carrier if you're having trouble getting him in it.

[/quote]CP mom here. This is not only cruel, but ignorant. I do not know whether this infant has cerebral palsy, but PP, if you've ever spent an hour trying to dress, toilet or put a kid with CP in a car seat you would know how deeply ignorant you sound. The problem is not the carrier if this child has CP. It's called spasticity. Perhaps you should google it.
