Patient's question:
Boy, born via cesarean section on October 28, 2016, weighing 6.4 pounds. At one and three to four months, he started calling "Mom," "sister," "grandma," and "grandmother." Breastfed until one and seven and a half months. After weaning, he gradually stopped speaking. Paper tests and developmental assessments were conducted, and it was concluded that he does not have autism; his language skills are at the level of a 15-month-old. Currently, he has been attending language classes at a kindergarten in Luzhou for over a week and has started calling "Mom," "grandma," and "bird-bird" (reduplicated words). He uses his fingers to indicate what he wants and makes "Hmm-hmm-hmm" sounds. He can make eye contact with adults and follows their instructions to complete tasks successfully. There are no other issues detected through careful examination, except for his speech delay.Doctor's answer:
Your baby's condition is considered normal, as the baby is still young and in the period of growth and development. As the child grows older, this situation will gradually stabilize. It is recommended to engage in more communication with your baby, such as telling stories before naps or spending time playing with them. Allowing the child to play with other children can also help stabilize the situation. Currently, attending early language education classes is quite effective for your baby. It is advisable for the child to focus on these classes while family members should pay close attention.
