My 14 month old niece began making frequent figure eight motions with her head. is this a cause for concern? she was also saying mama and dada and is no longer saying those words. furthermore, she is not yet walking or able to stand on her own?

Get seen for exam at your pediatrician office.

There is some reason for concern since she has lost verbal skills and her circular head motions warrant further evaluation. Does she seem as though she is pain? Is she able to sit and balance?There are a number of considerations and a full developmental and Neurologic evaluation is suggested. Watch for signs of pain and vomiting. Some children begin walking at a later age.
