[QUOTE="SmartGrl001, post: 202536, member: 6087"] She was on prevacid for the reflux. She did spit up quite a bit, but not really projectile like my cousin's kids did, but she sure did cry a lot. The severe crying stopped when she got a little more mobile. Of course because of the feeding issues and all she never had the real growth spurts. I can see what a "normal" child acts like with my second. She has been a very happy, content, smiley baby. I never knew. I'm not sure what you mean by attachment issues. She is a very independent girl in all aspects except for sleeping. Never had separation anxiety or stranger anxiety. I have thought of a few more things as I've been thinking about her though. As a baby, she needed a lot of stimulation to go to sleep....she needed to be rocked hard and patted on the bottom fairly hard (harder than I knew even then for being normal), and she always slept best in a swing. And I can't remember off hand now, looking up the Aspergers, Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), and ADHD, which one it was that said that children with it like to spin, swing, and they like water. Yeah...she likes to spin to the extent that we bought her a sit 'n spin about 6 months ago....the thing she likes best at the park is to swing....and she loves water, to swim in, wash her hands in, play in, transfer from one cup to another...anything you can do with water, she loves. Also in reading, I don't think she has Aspergers. It just doesn't fit real well with her. As I recall from my readings last night, she may have one or two symptoms of it, but they were symptoms that overlap with Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and ADHD.
