sign of intellectual disabilities

Usually when we rant about our baby's development like 'Why isn't my baby walking yet?' or 'Why doesn't my baby have teeth yet?', most people will respond with things like 'It's okay... every baby has their own time' or 'Mine was like that also, but it's okay, don't worry.' But I just read about intellectual disabilities, and now I can't stop thinking about it. It said the signs are: - Delayed developmental milestones, such as crawling, walking, or speaking. - Difficulty with social interactions or limited eye contact. - Lack of interest in toys or objects. - Trouble following simple instructions or understanding simple concepts. - Persistent difficulty in learning new skills or concepts as they grow older. - Challenges with problem-solving or reasoning tasks appropriate for their age. Basically, everything we have been concerned about—at least once! What do you think, Parents?

Hey there, mama! I totally understand your worries, it's completely normal to have those concerns about your baby's development. But remember, every child is different and they all reach their milestones at their own pace. It's great that you're aware of the signs of intellectual disabilities, but try not to jump to conclusions too quickly. If you're feeling worried, the best thing to do is talk to your pediatrician. They can give you a professional opinion and help ease your mind. They'll be able to assess your baby's development and provide guidance on what's typical and what might need further attention. In the meantime, keep engaging with your baby and encouraging their development through play, interaction, and love. Every baby is unique, and as parents, we're here to support and nurture them every step of the way. Remember, you're doing great! https://invl.io/cll6she
