hi!

welcome to our group! having a microcephalic daughter is a blessing. they were
given to us because we have a big heart and we can give love forever.

my daughter is also microcephalic and is now 10 yrs old. she only wanted to be
breastfed when she was young, so i breastfed until she was 3 yrs old.

now she is incorporated in grade 2 but with a mental age of less than 5 yrs old.
her cognitive ability was the one affected and is being pulled out and tutored.

just treat her like a normal child. and love her, love her, love her. be
patient... you'll be rewarded....

regards,
christine

Hi,

I am new to the group, and I just wanted to ask a question.

I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter, and I was just told by a Genetic Dr.,
that she has a microcephalic head. As of right now, my daugher does not
have any issues, except for getting her to eat a decent sized meal.

My question is, as she grows and gets older, is it possible we might
start to see some issues, because of the small head size.

Right now she is 33 1/2 inches tall, 23 lbs, and a head cir. of approx
17 1/2 inches or 44cm.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
