What are the common reasons for children to start speaking late?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, when a baby is born, their brain is in an underdeveloped stage, and it gradually develops after birth. So, late speech development could be normal or abnormal. Generally, the development of the language center varies greatly among children. Some children develop it more fully by the age of one, while others may be slightly delayed. I suggest you wait and see. If the baby still cannot pronounce clearly after the age of three, then it's advisable to take them to the hospital for a check-up.
