Homeopathy for Development Delay in Babies and Toddlers.
Developmental delay occurs when a child does not reach age-appropriate developmental milestones.
This delay can affect various areas, including:
Speech and language
Gross and fine motor skills
Cognitive abilities (thinking and understanding)
Social and emotional development
If a child experiences delays in most or all of these areas, it is termed global developmental delay.
The first three years of life are crucial for a child's development.
Although each child develops at their own pace, there are typical timeframes for reaching milestones.
Consistently failing to achieve milestones within these expected timeframes may indicate developmental delay.
Specific indicators of developmental delay include:
At 6 months: Inability to roll over (both front and back), lack of head control, inability to sit up with support, and absence of babbling.
At 9 months: Failure to crawl, inability to sit without support, and lack of response to familiar names.
At 12-15 months: Not speaking at least 1-2 words, inability to stand without support or start walking.
At 2 years: Speaking fewer than 10-15 words or inability to walk.
Homeopathic medicines offer a safe and effective approach to treating various childhood ailments, including developmental delay. These medicines are derived from natural sources, ensuring they are free from side effects. They are selected based on constitutional symptoms, addressing developmental delays both at the mental and physical levels, and supporting normal child development. Homeopathic treatment considers comprehensive details of each case to tailor remedies specifically.
Below is a list of homeopathic remedies to read but it is not a comprehensive list. Seek help from a Professional Homeopath if needed.

Symptoms may include weakness, exhaustion, and sleepiness.
