Children typically start making sounds to call ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’ by ten months old, but now that he is eighteen months old, he still can’t speak, only making sounds. What should parents do?
A 25-month-old baby who hasn’t started talking may have an incomplete language development. It is recommended to teach and observe more in daily life.
An 8-month-old boy is late in speaking and has symptoms of drooling. Does this indicate a potential intellectual development delay?
Is it possible for a 5-year-old child with delayed language development and intelligence equivalent to a 2-year-old to catch up with peers?
If a four-year-old child speaks inarticulately, it may be due to a short lingual frenulum, abnormal development of the vocal cords, or a language center developmental disorder. It is important to seek early examination and treatment to avoid affecting future language expression.

Why might a baby suddenly stop talking? How can you determine if medical attention is needed?
The baby suddenly stops babbling, showing a dull expression, and is less lively. The baby is particularly thin, doesn’t like to eat, and sleeps late into the early hours of the morning, waking up at 2 AM for a nap. On the third day, the baby goes to bed at 10 AM, with only short periods of deep sleep during the day, about 2 hours. Why is the baby suddenly sleeping so late at night? Could there be something wrong with my baby?
The baby was born in May 2013, male, and has had unclear speech sounds until now. Possible causes include hearing abnormalities, a short lingual frenulum, or cleft palate, etc. It is recommended to first visit the otolaryngology department for a check-up, and based on the examination results, problems will be ruled out and appropriate referrals will be made.
