[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]06:28 - I'm the original PP of this thread. Yes, DD is 3 now. Our finger walking ran from 10 months until 13 months, when DD could actually walk on her own.  She, too, would scream and scream so loudly.  I remember that being an awful period for us, I'm sorry, PP.  We just mostly waited it out.

We did wind up having a mother's helper come in 2-3 times per week for 2-4 hours for several months.  We were lucky that DD took to her right away.  We think it was because she looked like me.  My mom would just hide around the house and relax for a bit.

If you don't use any TV right now or videos, pop one on every now and then for some relief for you.

I believe she does have some issues walking that her pediatrician believes she'll grow out of naturally.  PT is in the near future.

Not very much help, I know.  My mom watched her until sometime the next year.  If I was staying home at the time and had to do it all over again, I might have set her up with tummy time and some toys to crawl to and then escaped to another part of the house with some music.  Maybe with a video monitor.  Or maybe knowing all that I know now, I would have cut my losses and put her in daycare.4
