A study published by the scientific journal BMJ Archives of Diseases in Childhood shows that the lockdown seemingly locked out children from blooming as they should. “Stringent lockdown, used to control the Covid-19 pandemic, has led to babies and their families spending more time at home than babies from previous years. Fewer babies from the Covid birth cohort had achieved one definite and meaningful word, the ability to point and the ability to wave bye-bye compared with babies from a comparable historical cohort,” said the study. The researchers explained that having social engagement plays a big part in a baby’s social communication.
