I don't know if this wouid be more appropriate over on MN but thought I would ask and see if our combined wisdom could come up with any answers. My friend's 1 year old ggs had a very traumatic birth with a cord presentation and emergency transfer to major hospital, while midwife basically tried to keep pressure off the cord. He was born by emergency c section but had inhaled meconium, had high blood gases and low oxgen readings. He was in neonatal for a period with a cold cap to reduce potential brain damage and although she's never been told what specifically, there also appeared ro be some concern regarding his heart.
This little boy is now a year old and has met his physical milestones, he's walking, has 8 teeth and eats well. He does have a degree of reflux which I thought shouid have passed by now, but his emotional and behavioural milestones do seem compromised. He does not take to anyone apart from his parents, has only just smiled at one of their friends whom he has known since birth, finds events out of the ordinary quite overwhelming, but worst of all is the screaming. He has currently been screaming intermittently for three days and will not sleep other than in short naps. His mother (who is very young) thinks this is temper which isn't really valid. He's screamed since birth and also curls himself up into a ball. He will sit and watch entire childrens' programmes with an unflinching stare-I find this quite odd, none of my dc or dgc would sit still for this long at 1. Docs cannot find a physical cause for his distress. Does this little one have developmental issues from his traumatic birth?
