Can Zeolite drops help with speech?

-

 As a mom, I’ll try anything (within reason) to support my child’s development — especially when I feel like something might be slightly off or delayed. I’m not a doctor, and I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I am someone who listens to her intuition and pays attention to her child’s needs. I do my own research to see if there's anything that is in my control to help my child. 

So when I kept seeing videos on TikTok about these zeolite drops that supposedly help kids detox, focus, and even start talking more, I was intrigued. I watched countless videos of other moms sharing their experience, and it sparked something in me. Could this be the thing that helps my son, too?



My son is 22 months old, and while he’s been saying a few words here and there, I noticed his speech wasn’t progressing as much as I had hoped. I try not to compare him to other kids, but sometimes it’s hard not to notice that other toddlers his age seem to be saying full sentences or using more words. I know every child develops at their own pace — and I’m so proud of him no matter what — but deep down, I felt like there might be something that could help him along.

So I bought the zeolite drops through TikTok Shop. I figured it couldn’t hurt to try something natural. Zeolite is a mineral that’s said to bind to toxins and heavy metals in the body, helping with detoxification. Some parents claim it helped their children focus more or begin talking after using it — and while I was skeptical, I was also hopeful.

I started giving my son the drops once a day in his water. At first, nothing changed. The first couple of days felt completely normal — same babbles, same routines. But after about a week or so, I started to notice something shift. He began repeating more words. He started pointing to things and naming them more confidently. I felt like we were finally getting somewhere. 

It could be the drops. It could be natural progress. It could be both. But I’m celebrating it either way.

He’s more engaged during playtime. He’s trying to mimic more words when I speak to him. He is a sponge. He’s even picked up a couple of not-so-great words (thanks to my slip-ups or what he hears around), which just shows how fast he’s absorbing language now. It’s a little embarrassing — but also kind of amazing how much he's soaking in. It might seem small to others, but to me, every single new word feels like a win. Like something is clicking. Like he’s opening up more and more each day.

Now, don’t get me wrong — I’m not saying zeolite drops are a miracle cure or that every parent should rush out to buy them. What I am saying is that for us, this little experiment felt like it made a difference. I don’t know if it was the drops, or if the timing just happened to align with a developmental leap. But either way, I’m glad I tried.

I’m always going to be an advocate for doing what feels right for your child. Whether it’s speech therapy, more one-on-one time, natural supplements, or just patience and love — trust yourself. You know your baby better than anyone.

If you’re thinking about trying zeolite drops, talk to your pediatrician and do your own research. For me, this was just another one of those “mom gut” moments where I felt like I needed to explore something new — and I’m glad I did.

Have you tried anything from TikTok that ended up being a win for your child? I’d love to hear about it. And if you’re on this journey of toddlerhood, speech delays, or just curious mom moments — you’re not alone. We’re all figuring it out, one step at a time.

What I Would Tell My Old Self Before Becoming a Mom

  What I Would Tell My Old Self Before Becoming a Mom I think about her sometimes — the girl I used to be before I became “mama.” The girl who had full control over her day, who thought motherhood would be hard but manageable, who had no clue how much would change… and how fast. There’s so much I wish I could tell her. I’d tell her that motherhood will crack her open in ways she can’t imagine. That some mornings, she’ll wake up and already feel tired — not from lack of sleep, but from giving so much of herself over and over again. But I’d also tell her that every single piece of love she pours out will find its way back to her — in tiny fingers gripping her hand, in sleepy “mama” whispers, in unexpected cuddles during chaos. I’d tell her that her body will change, and so will her soul. Stretch marks, saggy skin, a new softness in places she used to criticize — but also a new strength in places she never knew she had. I’d tell her that there will be lonely days — really lon...

Raising Kids During Uncertain Times

  Raising Kids During Uncertain Times: The Fear & the Faith It Takes to live our daily lives  I don't usually write about the news. But lately, it feels impossible not to. The world feels heavy right now — with headlines about war, conflict, and violence growing louder every day. And as a mom, it hits different. I look at my child and think: How do I protect them from a world I can’t predict? How do I raise a little one in a time when even  I  don’t know what’s coming next?  The Weight of the News Whether it's global wars, political tension, or community violence — there’s a constant hum of fear in the air. And if I’m honest, I carry that with me in ways I never did before I became a mother. My son is the first thought in everything I do — and the thought of not being able to protect him terrifies me It’s not just about what’s happening overseas. It’s about what could happen here. It’s about the safety of our kids in schools, in stores, even in our own neigh...

Let’s Get Real

  Let’s Get Real: Making Time When You Have None Let’s get real for a second. Between work, parenting, cleaning, cooking, and just trying to keep it all together , “me time” can feel like a luxury we don’t have. And the gym? That feels like a full-blown event when you’re already running on fumes. But here’s what I’ve been learning: if we don’t make time for ourselves, no one else will. And it doesn’t have to be perfect. Sometimes it’s 15 intentional minutes — a quick walk, a slow stretch, a deep breath with a locked bathroom door. That counts. Some days I make it to the gym. Some days I call putting on clean clothes a win. And honestly? Both are valid. I’m also trying to unlearn the habit of just surviving the week and living for the weekend. Because life isn’t just Friday nights and Sundays. We deserve joy on Mondays. Peace on Tuesdays. Little moments that feel like ours even on the busiest days. Balance isn’t about doing everything — it’s about doing something for yours...
