Quick question: asymmetric developmental delay in babies?

Maiyko AI ADVISOR

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Asymmetric (one-sided) developmental delay means your baby is noticeably using one side of their body differently than the other. For example, if your baby is over 6 months and keeps using just one hand while the other stays in a fist, or always crawls or sits leaning the same way, it could signal something with their muscles, nervous system, or torticollis (tightness in neck muscles).

If your baby seems to ignore one hand or leg, can't reach with it, or can't turn that way, that's something to have a specialist look at—don't just watch and wait at home. A pediatric neurologist or physical therapist should evaluate it.

I was explaining a general concept; if you tell me how old your baby is and what movement difference you've noticed, I can give more specific guidance.
