hi my baby girl is 7 months old and has been detected with delayed milestones (GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY) at about 5 months.all tests related to metabolism, neurology and genetics are normal and doctors have no reson for GDD. with occupational therapy she has now attained partial neck control but is not able to turn sideways or sit independently.kindly suggest whether this will have an impact on brain development and whether these children become normal at later stage.
HI, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I understand your baby had GDD, and on occupational therapy, showing mild improvement. GDD is related to brain also, with that I mean\" yes her brain development is being impacted that's how we call her global developmental delay--- that is delay in all development section Gross motor, fine motor, sensory, and social milestones. You should please bear in mind that This changes cannot be reversed, and we cannot expect a normal growth later. I feel very dejected to have answered this query so clearly, but alas it's the truth
