After the baby reaches one year old, parents begin to pay attention to their baby's speech and walking habits. If it is found that babies of the same age can already speak, but their own babies cannot speak, parents will worry about whether their babies speak too late and want to know how to check them. So, what do babies look for when they speak late?
Firstly, it is necessary to determine the specific timing of a baby's delayed speech, as many babies' speech patterns are influenced and inherited by their parents. If parents speak later, then the baby will also speak later. After all, the baby's speech belongs to their language development and is a part of their growth and development. As long as the baby's hearing is not a problem, it is normal for the baby to speak at different times.
Secondly, parents should observe the specific situation of their baby's delayed speech. If the baby's delayed speech is related to hearing, they need to take the baby for hearing tests. Actually, after a baby is born, they will undergo hearing screening. As long as the baby passes the hearing screening, there will generally be no hearing problems. It is only a matter of time before the baby can speak.
However, parents need to be aware that some babies may not speak late, but rather speak unclearly. In this case, it is necessary to observe the baby's lingual frenulum. If the baby's lingual frenulum is short, their pronunciation will be affected. Once the baby's lingual frenulum is found to be too short, it is necessary to take the baby to the dental department for examination and receive targeted treatment as soon as possible.
