Patient's question:
At 28 months, the baby sometimes calls "Mommy" and "Daddy" unconsciously. Sometimes, but when you ask him to call "Mommy" and "Daddy," he doesn't call. He also frequently makes eye contact. His ears are very good, and he can hear and respond. I don't understand why he doesn't respond when I ask him to answer. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, a child who is over two years old can speak simple spoken language and sing simple children's songs. If the child does not meet these conditions, and if the child's intellectual development and growth are normal and there are no hearing problems, it should be considered language development delay. It is recommended to have the child undergo a brain MRI to check for any developmental issues in the language center. First, identify the problem and then provide timely and targeted treatment. The baby can call "Mom" and "Dad," and can also communicate through hearing and eye contact, which proves that the baby's growth and development are normal. Parents should not worry too much.
