How old does a child start to learn to talk?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this situation, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please tell me at what age children start learning to speak?

Doctor's answer:

0-1 year is the preparatory period for children's language development. At this stage, from 0 to 3 months, they communicate with parents through crying and laughing; from 4 to 8 months, they engage in conscious communication with parents through babbling and simple hand movements (grasping, swaying, patting, etc.).
According to your description, it may be related to zinc and calcium deficiency. In this case, spending more time in the sun can be helpful. Additionally, you can take pediatric cod liver oil drops and calcium gluconate oral solution for treatment. If the deficiency is zinc, taking zinc gluconate oral solution is sufficient.
