Turner Syndrome Support Group
Turner syndrome encompasses a number of chromosomal abnormalities, of which monosomy X, is the most common. It occurs in 1 out of every 2,500 female births. Instead of the normal XX sex chromosomes for a female, only one X chromosome is present and fully functional. In Turner syndrome, female sexual characteristics are present but underdeveloped.
Hello all,
My baby girl who is one next week is having trouble eating and sleeping. She will only eat pureed food, bread and a few crisps.
She has a 'varient' of TS - not full TS. She is perfectly healthy in every way shape or form. She is walking and says a few words.
I have been reading lots of your posts and thinking maybe the eating is down to the TS. I have a doctors appointment next week to see if they can help me.
Her nursery are starting to 'stress' me out with saying 'she should be more advanced than this' or saying 'I have never seen a baby at nearly one who doesn't eat'!!! STRESSING ME OUT..
I have had the health visitor round to see her and she isn't worried. I just need some advice please
Desperate mummy.
Thanks in advance.
I agree that her eating habits could be connected with TS. I have a classic case of the syndrome and have been told my stomach was very sensitive when I was little; which could be the same case for your daughter. I would kind of describe it as a "phase" as that all changed as I got older; I'm sure as she gets older she will start eating more. I would suggest keep introducing new foods and perhaps keep trying different textures with her: to see how she reacts with them, perhaps she will find something new she really likes. :)
Good luck at the doctors appointment!
