I shouldn't have access to milestone charts

Just looked at one for C.  Ian tended to be on the fast side of things as a baby, and C seems to be just a bit slow.  I know it's incredibly early, and it doesn't mean much of anything, but I'm paranoid that I've already messed him up by not doing the DHA supplement as much with him and not having all of the one on one time I did with Ian.  *sigh*  Milestone charts are bad, bad things!

    I'm with you.  I won't even look at them.  I'm already having an incredibly hard time with not being able to BF D as long as I did with N, so I know if she hit anything 'slowly' i'd blame it on myself.

    What the eff is a milestone chart? ;oP. I didn't even look with Ca. He's alright. ;o) actually he should be smarter. You probably read to him already. And dha supplements? For you or him? Can you tell we must use them all the time?

    <3  Thank you, Luvlie.  For me, for him, as in I take it and he reaps the benefits.

    Haha ok. Well I figured if you were taking it, it was for him anyway. I never took it. Well unless it is in the regular pre-natal I take. But I doubt it. I do still take them. And you made me look at the chart. Lol

    she's doing great.  she's taking bottles from me regularly now and didn't have any tummy problems with formula transition.  She still tries to root on me, which breaks my heart, but i'm doing a lot better then I was.  She's a very happy baby, and she sleeps pretty well too :-)

    I don't look at them and try not to compare the girls. Ad was doing a lot more than Av at this age, but Av does other things that Ad didn't do till she was older. Av is a little behind in some things though. She is not sitting up yet but she crawls. Oh and I didn't take a DHA sup often while pregnant and still only take it like once a week.

    I'm the WORST about looking at those (and about comparing Noah to other kids his age, but that's another post). I will freak out over the fact that he isn't talking as much as he should, but then DH will remind me that he walked at 8.5 months and is much faster at motor skill things than others his age. Every kid is so different.

    ... and don't even get me started on the time that I read that walking on tiptoes more than 40% of the time could be an autism spectrum disorder marker. Yikes. I need to quit reading most everything.

    If it makes you feel any better, I hardly took any with either kid during pregnancy or while nursing. I'd start, then I'd get paranoid about mercury and whether I should be finding a different dha and so I'd just stop taking them altogether. Both kids have lived. Although I'm sure Noel's speech issues can be directly linked to my lack of dha Wink.

    [:/] This is the first I've ever heard of a DHA supplement.. 

    Sometimes I feel like it's a miracle this kiddo is alive. I just feed him, love him up real good, and wipe off his many kinds of goo. Yep.. That's all I do. Stick out tongue

    Also, fwiw, O is a tad behind, physically. My guess is because he's freakin' huge and has to tummy time almost 20 pounds of baby-meat, so.. you know.. understandable.. I had no idea, though. Pedi is the one the told me, but she also said not to worry about it.

    But you know, I used to tell the parents of my preschoolers this, and I sincerely believe it: Kiddos all have the same "stuff" in them, but it's just distributed in different areas. So if your their 3 year old is "behind" [in their eyes] at one thing, try to find out where that energy is going. Because it is there, and it is going exactly where it should be going. And let's just try to focus on that. :)
