10 month old doesn’t respond to name

My daughter doesn’t sometimes. She’s 10 months old. I think she just gets so focused on something that she just doesn’t hear me. She’s had a hearing test before and she has perfect hearing so I know it’s not that. But she definitely knows her name. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about.

Thank you. That’s reassuring. It’s my third kid, you think I’d be more relaxed by now. Nope… still (and always) a worrier 😅

It’s a hit and miss for us too , I think it’s just distraction or they are just really smart because they know that we have nothing interesting, so why respond. I know it’s not hearing because when I start reading her favorite book , she looks over.

My son will look sometimes when we call his name but he has so many nicknames it’s my fault for confusing him 😂 if the name isn’t being used consistently that’s one reason but a lot of times they might just be ignoring us to be honest.

Hi! I have a degree in early childhood development and most of my work was with autistic or otherwise ND children. Im a sahm now.

If they respond but just not all the time that usually means they simply dont feel like responding lol busy playing or just not feeling performative. He does respond though which means he definitely knows thats his name.... my cats do the same haha at this age up until around 3 or 4 kids are very much like cats.

My daughter rarely responds to her name but she'll mimic us when we do certain sounds. I wouldn't worry too much right now.

Mine is almost 10 months abd he sometimes responds when I call him by name. When hubby calls his name he doesn't respond all the tune. But we never really used his name much until like the 6 or 7 month mark 😬 I just called him baby or boo boo. Or other nick names. 😅

Thank you… this is really helpful and reassuring. I try not to worry, but it’s kind of in my nature 🤪 I appreciate the advice very much.
