Talk to your pediatrician if your baby: * Does not make eye contact or look to you when you talk to them. * Does not look for objects that you hide during games. * Does not reach for toys or seem interested in playing. * Does not sit on their own. * Uses one side of the body more than the other. 👋🏼 hi!
