Yes Oomis, I was referring to drinking from a cup, not feeding himself. And my response was more about the attitude than the baby in question. I cannot tell you how many babies/children I treat for developmental issues that should have been treated months or years before. So often the mothers gave them leeway beyond what they should have because of the huge windows and different rates. Sometimes it’s nothing (and I will be the first to say so) but sometimes the kids are needlessly behind and it takes a lot of work to catch up.
**end of plea for appropriate early intervention**
