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

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 on 3rd July '24

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 daughter is very aggressive and never listen. Always tantrums

Female | 5

Consult a child psychologist or pediatrician. Your daughter's aggressive behavior and frequent tantrums may be due to underlying emotional or behavioral issues that need professional evaluation. Early intervention can be very helpful in managing and improving these behaviors.

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 daughter is almost 4 years old. She had club foot by birth on left foot and left eye is also squint eye. Club foot was treated by 4 plasters early after birth. Later on, she started walking but still her left foot fingers get curved or turned when I notice. Squint eye treatment is still in progress. She is using glasses since she was one year old. Eyesight number goes varies time to time but not recovered fully. Suggestions please, I am really worried about her.

Female | 4

Your daughter likely has a clubfoot and a squint that can't be straightened. The fact that her clubfoot was treated at an early stage is a good thing, but the curved fingers may still be present. Regarding Ames squint-eye, the treatment is still in progress. The use of glasses is widespread and it is crucial to have her sight checked frequently.

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.

My baby boy is 1.1 year old. He swallowed a small wooden piece. Please kindly suggest me what to do.

Male | 1

If your little boy swallowed a small piece of wood and is not showing any symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, or choking, it can be assumed that he will pass it through his stool without any problems. Just make sure to check his poop to see that the piece comes out. Nonetheless, if he exhibits any signs of distress or if the piece does not pass within a few days, it is advisable to seek medical advice as early as possible.

My baby is 48 days old but his umbilical cord is not cure yet ,there is yellow sticky fluid is formed

Male | 48days

The umbilical cord falling off entirely can take time, and this is normal. It's vital to keep it dry and clean. Normally, the yellow sticky liquid you see is a sign that the wound is healing. Use some warm water and a cotton ball to gently clean the area. If it looks red and swollen or has a bad smell, you should consult a doctor. Yet, you should take the necessary precautions and keep the area clean and dry.
