^sis papost naman nung updated details ni Dr. Tippy Tanchanco tatawag na ako mamaya para magpaschedule. Thanks sis

[marose17]

Dr. Tanchanco has a clinic at Medical City.  She has weekday clinics lang, walang weekends starting this year.

You can dial the trunkline of Medical City and ask to be connected to her office.

My son had a check-up last month.  His follow-up is scheduled on December na.  Last I heard (from another GTer), January na ang earliest appointments that you can book, unless may mag-cancel.

[otsowaloeyt08]

hi mga mommies!

i have read un naunang thread.. all of it.. kasi super worried talaga ko sa son ko. he is 14mos old. yet he still can't walk without support and only babbles syllables. though earlier, siguro 5mos siya nun, he uses mama baba na, pero it stopped til now minsan lang and he parang he doesn't associate it to us. minsan lang pagsobrang inis na nya o frustrated o if he's not feeling well he'll use mama to get my attention. pag-gusto niya na pansinin siya he'll just shout or makes a sound. last chech-up nia, it was brought to our attention by his pedia, kc i ask na nga if okay lang at his age na hindi pa siya nagsasalita or naglalakad. His pedia brought out some things, like a ball, doll and bell.. She ask our son point the bell or get it. pero kinuha ng son ko un ball kasi dun siya familiar. Sabi niya na un nga medyo alarming un sa di paggamit ni baby ko ng mama and dada.. or any word. dapat daw by this time kahiy un mga usual things na gamit ni baby like cup or others he can tell or point. but she said observe p namin within the months. pero she recommended na a dev pedia, kasi nga matagal makakuha ng appointment and pede nman daw ipacancel pag-okay na si baby. she recommends Dr. Agnes Falcotelo. btw, di ko namention sa pedia niya na he likes spinning wheels and circular objects kahit un mga buttons sa damit, ngayon ko lang kasi nalaman it is a sign pala of autism.

til now di pa kami nakapagpaappointment, marami kasi nagsasabi na ganun daw talaga mga bata lalo na lalake, mas matagal magsalita. pero parang my mind tells me na i should consult na a dev pedia. tapos we left manila pa kasi si hubby sa clark nagwowork, wala makalaro un baby ko na ibang kids. i'm considering na nga to enroll him to school o daycare kaso baka wala pa tumanggap. and unti lang din dito sa pampanga un mga centers for toddlers.

just want to ask your opinions mommies.. is it early pa, should we wait til 18mos?
any feedback din po kay Dr. Agnes Falcotelo.
thanks in advance!

[feelingera]

hi sis otso, i suggest you bring your son to devpedia as early as now. mas maaga mas maganda. you can try dr. dimalanta sa st lukes global city, mas mabilis magpa schedule dun kesa sa clinic nya sa q.c. alam mo wala kang peace of mind until hindi mo napapa check up ang baby mo. i know the feeling...good luck and samahan mo din ng prayers

[marose17]

^ Do not wait!  The earlier you go to the dev pedia, the better.  It is not going to be good for your child to be in denial (if there is indeed an issue) or to wait for something to happen.  Be pro-active!

My twin sons were assessed by the dev pedia at 11 months old because they were preemies and were not hitting the milestones on time.  One son underwent PT for 3-4 months so that he could catch up on his gross motor skills (super delayed mag-crawl and walk).  By two years old, they were able to catch up.

I have written this time and again:  Early intervention works!

[slovy]

sis otsowaloeyt08, di ka nag iisa, we have the same issues, my son is 14 mos na rin, but still, he cant walk pa rin, pero mabilis sya umusad pag nakahawak, kumbaga gabay gabay pa rin sya. Hindi ko alam kung tamad lang, kasi most of the time, gusto pa rin nya gumapang. Mas nauna pa nga syang natutong umakyat kesa sa paglalakad. At sa pagsasalita naman, maingay sya yun nga lang, di maintindihan at di naman ako nag worry kasi akala ko, ok lang yun. Pero now that I read your post, nag aalala na rin ako. Wala namang nabangggit sa amin ang pedia nya nung last nyang check up. Iniisip ko lang kasi baka late lang development baby ko kasi nung sa pag dapa at pag gapang late din nyang natutunan compared to other babies, nung pagdapang mag isa, 5 months na nya yun nagagawa tapos yung paggapang naman 9 months na sya natuto. case to case basis siguro. Siguro wait pa ako ng another month pa, pag hindi pa rin, baka ipaconsult ko na rin, maigi nga namang nakakasiguro.

[snowyice]

kwento ko lang story ko mga sis my son when he was a baby loves to spin objects din and kapag tinatawag hindi rin kami masyadong pinapansin and hindi rin halos nagsasalita.  But my pedia never said a thing about it okay naman daw si baby.  After a few years, I transferred to another pedia and that pedia began to question me malikot daw sobra yung anak ko and so on so she recommended a dev pedia. At first ayokong ipa check kasi para sa akin okay naman yung bata but since my MIL insisted na ipacheck na gave me 4k for the checkup I called the dev pedia and have my son diagnosed. 

During the assessment ang daming pinagawa sa anak ko and ang dami ring tinanong sa akin. After 2-3 hrs the  developmental pedia said everything is fine with my son and wala naman problem, and just gave me some things to do to prevent him from being hyperactive.  After the check-up I was really happy atleast now I can tell the world that my son is 100% normal.

*my son started walking mga 14-15months and he started talking when he was in Nursery na. He started calling me mommy when he was over 2years old na.

[joyce09]

mga mommies share ko rin about my son. my son start walking when he was 12mos but no words yet lahat bubbles. when he was 15mos nagsasabi siya na mama but he's not referring to me basta nagbububles lang siya na mama. still no words yet. and same with your so sis hes really fascinated with the wheels of his toy car and loves to spin e verything that is turning around gustong gusto niya tingnan. even until now that his 2yrs old loves parin niya tingnan yung wheels ng toy car niya na umiikot. pinaconsult ko siya sa dev ped when he was 17mos old then. so far wala naman nakitang not good to him pero pina ot/sp kami for his behavior modification kasi malikot din siya at walang focus. siguro mga 2mos ko rin siya pina ot nun pinull out ko na siya kasi parang di pa siya nagcooperate sa teacher niya beco hes still too young yet. unti unti din naman nagsasalita son ko ngayon kahit di talaga very clear ang words at may sariling salita parin pero atleast naiintindihan. i think kids really have their own pace of development. wag ka mainip sis your son still young to worry of not talking. pinaconsult ko siya noon for the sake of having a peace of mind kung gusto mo talaga magkaroon ng  peace of mind and for the good narin sa anak mo pwede mong pa consult sa s de ped. siguro nature lang ng mga batang lalaki na mahilig sa wheels siguro ma overcome din nila yan as they get older. hyper din anak ko always on the move lalo na ngayon that he just turned 2. as they say terrible 2. as long as continue ang growth development ng anak nyo i think there is so much to worry kasi base sa son ko unti unti marami din naman siyang natutunang words basta kausapin nyo lagi and always use to name objects.  good luck sis.

Just to let you know, it takes several months to get an appointment with a dev pedia.  So you have to factor in yung waiting time for an appointment with your own waiting time for something to happen.

[otsowaloeyt08]

Thanks si feelingera and marose! siguro nga i'll wait muna pero pasked na rin namin para walang nasasayang na time. bka makakatulong din un for my peace of mind and bka my suggestions din ang dev ped sa mga activities to encourage develop ang speech and others..  or therapy would help.
dito kasi sa bahay, wala siya makalaro na other kids kami lang.. na usually pagmay chores naiiwan siya sa tagabantay na di din madaldal. Asa clark kasi kami, dito kasi nagwork si hubby. Feel ko tuloy ang dami kong pagkukulang sa son ko.

so far, ok nman ngaun.. medyo he can point n what he wants seldom nga lang. when i ask "where's the lights?" he'll look and point to the light bulb.. he can also point to he's ears if i ask to..he also uses his hands as a telephone if i say hello. and do actions na for a song about body parts.. sana nga magtuloy tuloy.. para daycare nalang un icipin ko para kay baby.

I told my hubby about the issue kasi nag wowori na rin talaga ako for my son and pinabasa nya ako nung book na "what to expect, the first year", nagbasa sya nun kasi nag alala na rin pala sya at ito ang nabasa ko...


"many perfectly normal, even exceptionally bright, babies don't walk until the second half of their second year, particularly if one or both parents didn't. A baby who isn't walking by eighteen months should be examined by his doctor to rule out the possibility that physical or emotional factors are interfering with walking. But even at that age- and certainly at twelve months a child's not walking yet isn't cause for alarm."


Pero worried pa rin ako    Gusto ko pa rin ipa check.


 ^ sis snowy, thank you, malapit lang kami sa st lukes. meron ka ba contact  number nya para tatawagan ko na lang? tagal pala no? hehe. what if in the next 2 months, nakakalakad na baby ko? pwede ba icancel? hehe.
