[quote=Anonymous]OP, first off, I think the best thing you can do is stop reading those BabyCenter emails or whatever tell you about what babies are doing week by week.

Your pediatrician should be checking in with you about developmental milestones at each visit. Express any concerns you have to him/her.

Please try to enjoy your baby. Whether or not he has issues, you are not going to look back at this time and be grateful that you spent it fretting over this. Posting to this board a long, point-by-point description isn't being proactive, it's being overly anxious. Talking to your baby's pediatrician at the next visit, which is going to be very soon because newborn visits are frequent, will be more helpful. Watching your baby carefully, enjoying your baby, interacting with your baby and being respectful of him-- these will be more helpful.

And on the remote chance that your child does have special needs-- and it is unlikely, really, but not the end of the world-- come back here and find some extremely helpful, sympathetic people! Don't be turned off by responses to this post, which, if you reread it in a few years, you may regret.[/quote]
