I completely agree and that’s why I commented. Because I have had experience of a friends child having Pierre Robin. No health visitors even knew what it was! It was diagnosed after my friend was googling one night about why her baby snores so loud.Those of us who are mums will know babies have multiple checks by medical professionals within the first 8 weeks. I’d think if there were cause to suspect the baby has a genetic condition, it will have been picked up on. That would have likely been picked up before she even left hospital or even during pregnancy.
You also couldn’t blame a first time mum for not knowing every symptom of every genetic condition out there and she would rely on medical professionals to pick up on those things if they were present.
I don’t want anything to be wrong with the baby. Much as I think Tasha is awful, the baby is innocent. Best case scenario she reads this and thinks “I’m going to prove tattle wrong”, mentions it to a doctor (not a HV) and they tell her he’s fine. Worst case, there’s something wrong but at least she’s found it early.
Tasha has a history of neglect. Of her own health and the baby’s. So my comment is not to be malicious. It’s out of concern.
As I said, I hope the baby is fine
