I'm sure they will give her a good check over when you go in, best to see what she can do so you can answer some of their questions knowing the answer rather than guessing a bit, I find when I'm put on the spot with a question it takes me ages to figure out whether he can or can't do something
I'd sort of felt something was up from birth ????but it was 6/8weeks I got my diagnosis for zachariah.I'd asked my hv who quite frankly was useless so went through the dr who referred us on. I'd felt he never 'looked' at any of us and feeding when you're supposed to bond his eyes were sort of looking where my elbow was. Sleep wasn't really an issue, I think ????he had trouble sleeping and cried a lot (I had to leave a lamp on and hold him to calm him) but I don't know that he slept more than any other newborn. It's quite difficult to remember the early days as he's now 2.5yrs ????but I know we were early to spot the problem- you're the mum and sometimes you just know. I'd think seeing as she's your third you'd also be more aware as well.????
If you have any qns feel free to ask away, I will now know to look out for this topic and will check in. Hope you manage to get looked at soon to either put your mind at rest or begingetting the additional help she'll need, take care x????
They will do abasic sight test at the hv check and probably pick up anything that appears unusual. Good luvk
