Interact with baby more. Avoid screens completely. And see for improvement in next 3 to 6 months. At 1.5 year meet your pediatrician again to rule out autism. Its too early to diagnose autism at this age. And stimulation is the treatment. No medications are there.
Next Steps
Check every month for new milestones
