Reply to comment by Cannonball_21 in How the mother's mood influences her baby's ability to speak. Scientists found even children whose mothers suffer from mild depressive mood that do not yet require medical treatment show early signs of delayed language development. by Wagamaga
As others commented, yes. I was fine until my husband had to get back to work after the first month. It all went downhill from there. Close friends who lived a minute away bought a house and were gone. Both our parents are a 90min drive away. On top of that lockdown. I got hot hard with depression for roughly ten months. Some days I couldn't speak at all and would only cry when I tried. Our daughter is now 23 months old and can only say 5 words, but luckily she understands even fine details in requests. So the vocabulary is there, she's just not vocalising.
Pediatrician appointments is in a week.
