Question
The baby is 2 weeks old and still can’t talk, only occasionally calls out ‘mommy’, and doesn’t understand when adults talk to them.
Answer
This baby is rather reserved at two years old. Communication is only possible when the baby calls out ‘mommy’, which indicates that there is no hindrance. As long as the baby has normal intelligence and mental state, they will eventually learn to speak. It’s usually effective to talk more with the baby, engage in joint play, read stories, and look at them while listening to what they have to say. There should be no problem with that. It’s recommended to conduct a language development assessment. If it’s determined that there is a delay in language development, corresponding language rehabilitation training is needed.
