What is developmental delay?

Patient's question:

My baby was born and I felt something was wrong. Compared to his peers, he is much slower at everything. What is child development delay?

Doctor's answer:

Slowness is just temporarily slower than others, but it can catch up later. Some people have low intelligence and need close observation. Bone density has standards for infants, and any difference compared to peers is meaningful. If it's low, calcium supplementation and increased sun exposure are needed.
Trace elements and prevention/treatment of mental retardation: Trace elements play an important role in the intellectual development of the brain. Zinc and iodine supplementation are recommended. Treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a local doctor.
