[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 621812, member: 17269"] Actually, I have another story...this one human. My best friend from my 20's had an only child when she was close to 40. She came from a highly dysfunctional family of alcoholics, and her marriage was short lived...just long enough to make a baby. She loved that kid beyond beyond...I used to feel kind of guilty that I didn't have the same obsession as she did. That was the era when babies were NOT to ever lie on their belly...so she never never let him. So much so that he didn't learn to crawl...at his one year check up the pediatrician asked her to put him on the floor face down and he lay there and sort of flopped like a fish. He had no strength in his back or limbs to roll over or get himself up. The pediatrician said, gently...you have to let him lie on the floor sometimes. He's fine now. At least, no neurologic issues...he is a bit of a difficult child...I told her about the forum. But that part is neither here nor there. She loved him so much, and held him so close, that he could only wiggle like a fish out of water when he was a year old. True story, Cedar! [/QUOTE]
