How to handle slow teething in children?

Patient's question:

My child is now almost nine months old. Since he grew two teeth at six months, he hasn't grown any more teeth yet. Additionally, he doesn't talk and even doesn't call "Mom." I don't know if these are normal.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the timing of teething is related to genetic factors and also to whether there is a calcium deficiency. Your baby is currently normal. You can also give your baby more foods high in calcium, spend more time in the sun with your baby, and supplement with fish oil in a timely manner. Learning a language is a complex process. Before being able to communicate, babies must first be able to recognize sensory information. Usually, after 10 months, some babies will emit their first meaningful syllable, which is often easy-to-make sounds like "" (dada) or "" (mama). After that, language, like their daily food, is continuously stored in their brains, and their vocabulary doubles. Please do not be too anxious and train your baby with patience.
