Baby stopped responding to name

So my 11 month old was doing great responding to name , this past month he seems to just be flat out ignoring me . I can yell it with still no response . He does look sometimes but I feel like he was consistent now he’s not. Does this mean autism ? Is ur baby consistently responding to name ?

My baby did the same around 9 months where he did not respond to his name at all. Few weeks later he is back to normal. What I did to help him remember his name was by calling him by his name all day and doing lots of eye contact. I would point to myself when I say mama and to him when I call his name. My boy now respond to his name every time I call him. Hope that helps. Btw my boy is now 11 months 😊

I wouldn’t jump to that, it’s a little young to diagnose. He could just literally be ignoring you. If he’s content or something.

Babies will real deal ignore you I have 5 kiddos and my oldest (6) was diagnosed at 2 with autism and he never did this but I can tell you my 10 month old with ignore you to the point you’ll be questioning if you’re calling her in your head. The only time she answers to her name is if you’re in the kitchen and call her

Hey how is your baby now ? Xx

Hi ! He actually was diagnosed with autism at 18m , but at 15months I put him in speech therapy he still does it 2x a week at 26 months. He talks , makes eye contact , responds to name. The only milestone he didn’t really catch up on is pointing. He doesn’t really point at stuff but will verbally say what he wants so I don’t really care , I even question is diagnosis sometimes but he loves speech therapy and it’s been super helpful !

How do you handle finances as a part time worker and your spouse makes significantly more than you and holds it over your head?

So frustrating that I’m not allowed to spend money but he flippantly can whatever he wants. I am the default parent, and just because I don’t get a paycheck doesn’t mean it’s not work I deserve a reward from. I feel so alone.

Hey girlies ...

I'm going from a working mama to a stay at home Mama. And I feel like I'm not gonna be able to deal with it. How does you stay at home Mamas keep your sanity? Give me advice... I feel like I'm going to be bored like while the kids are at school and fall into depression. But I want to adapt... And put myself on schedule....hmmm give me some advice y'all 🤔🥹❤️ how do you cope ?

Would this make you worried gym daycare.

I was showing my 3 year old how to use the toilet at the daycare at my gym. We go in and I notice there’s also a door inside the single restroom on the other side. I figured it was a utility closet. As I’m walking around the gym I realize the daycares restroom is double acess. It’s also the toilet for employees that work the front desk on the other side.
Like wtf? How would they know if a small child walked out the the other door. And how do they prevent random weirdos from coming in the restroom when a small kid is in there because you know half those kids don’t use the locks. Absolutely insane design. So now I make both my kids go when I get there and showed them how to use the locks every time.

How would you react ?

Today was my husband's day off and he woke up around 6 having coffee in bed and was on his phone. . At 7 a.m my little boy woke up and asked to go pee then at 7:30 asked to eat. I then took him and went downstairs to make breakfast and he got so frustrated and started an argument that on his day off he can't relax. I must say he was not sleeping, he was just staring at his phone and now he ignores my child and me.

inconsolable

my baby is inconsolable. he has a clean diaper, full belly, burped everything. he will not stop crying. we have tried everything. i feel like i could literally pull my hair out. like im to the point where im about to walk out the front door and not come back for a few hours. he will not stop. he still won’t sleep in his bassinet for more than 30 minutes so i couldn’t tell you the last time i got more than 30 minutes of sleep at a time. i feel so defeated and i dont know what to do at this point.

Spouse going to be away for work for half the week for most of this month maybe more .. any tips for me? Details below

So my husband is going to be working away from home and staying in a hotel for about half the week every week this month and possibly longer. This is entirely new to us. My son is 3 and has never experienced his dad being gone for that long. I don’t think he will be entirely devastated honestly because I’m the preferred parent but I still expect some challenges. Some things to consider: I do have some family in the area, I don’t drive and the grocery store in walking distance is expensive lol. So we plan on making sure I have a good grocery stock and can ask for help if I need it I guess for during the day .. but any other tips? I can’t shake the feeling that I’m missing something I should be preparing to make it easier in advance ..
