Problem 1: My baby boy is one and a half years old and he still can’t speak. When he was one year old, he still called me daddy. Now he doesn’t call me anything but ahhhh! Although he understands everything and behaves normally, he just doesn\’t learn to speak. Could this be some kind of disease? Li Tinghui’s answer: Generally, there is no illness. If you are worried, you can check your baby’s tongue tie, because a short tongue tie may affect speech. It is recommended that you teach your baby to recognize objects, such as table, TV and other phrases, or purchase an electronic learning machine with enlightening videos. Let your baby listen more often, which will also help improve his language ability. Question 2: Why does the baby not have teeth yet at one year old? Are there any tests needed? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: Teething is related to genetics and nutrition, and anemia can also affect teething. Generally, if teeth have not erupted for more than 12 months, it is recommended to go to the dental department for a check-up to see if there is any problem with the tooth germ. If there are no problems, don’t worry. There are clinical cases of babies teething at 14 months. Question 3: The baby\’s leg lines are higher and lower. The calf feels thicker when touched, and the higher leg lines are thinner. What\’s going on? Dr. Bi Shaoli answered: This is not necessarily a problem, because the asymmetry of leg lines is probably related to fatness and thinness, and everyone’s legs cannot be the same thickness. Parents who are worried can go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is any problem with the hip joint.
