Advice: We moved and our toddler stopped talking


So, earlier this year we moved and our 16 month old stopped talking. She was developing normally before that, walked early, talked early, was very social. We’ve moved 4 times since she was born and the last move was the only one where she was more aware, it was a bit traumatic for her I think, because we had to stay in a tiny hotel room for a couple weeks while my husband graduated tech school and she was very, very stressed. We have her in speech therapy and it’s helping a lot in certain areas but I’m just so stressed and scared and I cry almost every night because I’m afraid there’s something wrong and I can’t help her.She’s going to see a developmental pediatrician soon (there’s a waiting list for about 6 months), so I’m trying to just keep going until then but I’m exhausted, I spend 24/7 with her and I’m trying so hard but the progress seems to be moving at a snails pace.I’ve brought up the subject of autism to her speech therapist, her early intervention specialist, and pretty much anyone I can but no one can say for sure because she doesn’t show any of the other signs and she did well on her MCHAT. I just have to wait for the developmental pediatrician, I feel like all I do is wait and I’m tired and burnt out and I feel terrible all the time. She’s happy pretty much all the time so I know I’m not doing anything wrong, I just feel like I’m not doing enough.Does anyone else have any advice or know of a similar situation? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2fWVR1U
