Patient's question:
Just started sitting up straight, 9 months stable, 10 months crawling, 11 months standing, 13 months walking. Currently unable to speak, can only call "daddy" and "mommy." Loves putting things in their mouth. Sometimes doesn't understand adults. Fine motor skills are slightly weaker, and reactions are a bit slow. Unable to express the need to use the bathroom.Past treatment history and outcomes: Received rehabilitation at birth, 1 month, 4 months, and 6 months. At 4 months, underwent MRI, auditory evoked potential, visual evoked potential, and EEG, all of which were normal.
What kind of help is needed: What is the cause, and how should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
It is important to teach children more practice in speaking, and also let them interact and communicate more with their peers. Additionally, carefully check how short the lingual frenulum is. Generally, children start practicing answering questions around the age of two. If they can use simple greetings at around one year and a half, there should be no problem. Pay close attention and observe carefully. The above suggestions are for the question "Why is a 10-month-old baby not responding?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
