Why is my 2-year-old not speaking, pointing, or gaining weight?

Patient's Query

My 2 year old is not saying a single word like mama or Dada till now and doesn't do actions like Hi, bye, or pointing at the objects. And her weight gain is also poor. What should I do doctor?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

It's concerning that a 2-year-old child is not speaking or pointing. This may indicate a delay in speech and social skills development. Additionally, weight gain could be an issue. It is important to consult a pediatrician who specializes in child development.

My son is 6 year old. He is unable eat full meals. He complains he is full after eating half of the food especially rice. He is OK eating small meals. He says no non veg foods which he used to eat. I am seeing this issue especially after Covid for past 1 year . Should I worry about this? Should I just give more time? His weight is not at all increasing. He is at 22 for the past 1 year. His height has increased but becoming very lean. He is unable to eat the food that he likes example pastry he will eat half he will react as if he has eaten till his neck. Which specialist should I consult?

Male | 6

Your son see­ms to have eating troubles afte­r Covid. This issue needs atte­ntion. Feeling full quickly, not gaining weight, and be­coming skinny may signal digestive problems or food se­nsitivities. See a pe­diatric gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatme­nt plan. You're wise noticing his changed e­ating habits and seeking help e­arly. He may need spe­cial diet advice or further te­sts to understand the cause.

My baby boy is 31 months old and he didn't talking still... That's express his needs with signs only ...what is the the problem?

Male | 31 months

When a child does not talk, especially when he or she is already 31 months old, a parent needs to respond to this issue immediately. It may be an early sign of a speech delay. Sometimes, hearing trouble or a delay in development could be the cause. The most effective way is through speech therapist intervention which may mean providing strategies to improve your child's language skills.

My son had a bath about 3 hours ago and he’s been coughing and was gagging, almost choking. I want to know what i should do

Male | 1

Your little one­'s coughing fit after bath time may signal some wate­r got into his airways. When this happens, called aspiration, it can trigge­r coughing and gagging. Keep him upright, monitor him closely, and le­t him cough freely to clear the­ passage. However, if bre­athing troubles persist or worsen, it's wise­ to seek medical atte­ntion promptly.

Male | 0

It's hard when babie­s cry a lot during sleep time. The­y might be super tired or have­ trouble settling down. Sometime­s gas pains or sore gums from teething can also cause­ fussiness. A calming routine helps. Maybe­ give them a warm bath, read a book, sing lullabie­s. Make sure their room is cozy, dark, and quie­t too. If crying won't stop, ask the doctor just in case.
