Speech delay
Hi doctor my son started taking at 10 months but stoped talking after few months but he calls me amma and sometimes he call his dad as nanna. he understand what I say. He imitates dance steps from rhymes. Due to covid from past 1 year social interaction was less and screen time was more.  From past few days on wards he started babbling. He has low iron level(8.8) at 18 months after 4 months through medication it came to 11. Is it k or a worried thing? Plz give me suggestion.

Hello, As you are aware, due to lack of social interaction and more media exposure, language regression has been noticed. Please try to reduce screen time. Increase more talk and stories with child. Follow up with a developmental pediatrician if possible. As Hb has increased with iron intake, there is no reason to worry. Increase iron rich foods in daily diet.
