[QUOTE="nvts, post: 401271, member: 3814"] Oh, don't worry about it! :-) I'm just trying something that I haven't done before - no biggee. I just think you'll get more replies if they're grouped together. For what it's worth (and I know that I'm thus far not coming off as the sharpest knife in the drawer!) I agree that a developmental pediatrician would be well worth your while. If your gut is telling you that something isn't right, you need to listen to it. Most of us have found that following our instincts does the most good. As far as your daughter's issues go, I would seriously consider having an Occupational Therapist as well as a Speech Therapist work with the sensory stuff. My 2 year old is progressing really well with them - she's got pretty wicked oral defensiveness (she didn't come off formula AND only handled stage 2 baby food at the 1.5 year mark). It's late, but it had a lot to do with a forward facing gag reflex, hypersensitive tastebuds, and low muscle tone in her mouth and face. I would recommend that you keep a list of ALL of the behaviors and "quirks" for both kids. This'll come in really handy when you talk to the doctor. Some regular pediatricians often blow off our concerns as "nervous mother syndrome" when in fact we have a reason to be watching out. Welcome to the crowd - it's a great group of people that really care, have a lot of experience and enjoy one anothers company. Make sure you hop on the Watercooler - that's where we talk about non-child stuff. A lot of cameraderie there! Beth [/QUOTE]
