Delayed development in babies may be caused by genetic factors from parents or feeding practices. A baby's growth patterns, physical constitution, personality, potential, and limits are all influenced by parental genetics, such as skin tone, hair color, and facial features. Likewise, certain diseases can also be inherited. Insufficient feeding, lack of essential nutrients, and inadequate caloric intake can all lead to developmental delays. The diet should meet minimum requirements at appropriate frequencies to prevent malnutrition. Pay attention to balanced nutrition and regularly encourage the baby to crawl and exercise.
