Suggest Treatment For Delayed Speech In A Child

Hello Doctor. I have an 18 month old boy. I checked the milestones for a baby at 18 months and my son is able to do all things other than communication. He did not started calling me Mummy yet. He does not pay attention to me but now once in a while he do. Even though his weight is correct for his age but he looks thin. We live in UK. He does holds his playing toys , balls but he does not hold the feeding bottle or a bowl of food. Please help me in improving his communication and vocabulary.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
I understand your concern.

I have few questions and suggestions for you -

1. What is his birth weight and current weight?
2. When did he start walking?
3. Did he cry immediately after birth or did he require any special assistance to take the first breath?
4. How long does he see television or tablet or cartoons per day?
5. Did any one of the parents' had a speech delay as children?
6. How many word s does he speak as of now- I mean his vocabulary consists of how many words?

Please get back to me with answers to the above question so that I can guide you better.
