Hello, I am also new to this group and your son sounded similar to my
son's developemental delays. He is 21 months and about two months ago
learn to crawl and we have since advanced to pulling up. Still not
eating with a spoon and absolutley hates a sippy cup but he does
great with a straw. Doctors have said that he has Hypotonic Cerebral
Palsy. We are going next week to another neurologist to get a second
opion just to be sure. It's been slow but he has made great
progress. This is my first time really looking and finding a good
support group so please excuse me for rambling. Would love to talk

Ericka And Brendan
