Hey all looking for some advice, my little one is 7 months . He isn’t responding when I say his name and hardly looks at me now as before he would always look and smile . I’m a bit worried as I’ve googled it and it says it can early signs of Autism. But he does here noises like if you clap your hands etc he will look up . Thanks xx

Can't offer advise but my 7 month old doesn't respond to his name yet either x

My boy does but I have to say it really enthusiastically like when you call a dog over to you! X

My son is very hit or miss when it comes to responding to his name. I do get worried too.
He responds to Alexa lol

My daughter is also seven months and didn’t respond when I called her name yesterday but immediately enthusiastically turned around when I said “hey stink butt!” sooooooo, who even knows 😂😂😂

haha I tried a similar thing a few months ago. Enthusiastically called her name to see if she knew it and she responded, but then I tried ‘potato’ which also worked 😂

we call our daughter 'Spud' so much that she probably thinks that is her actual name 🥔

😂

My LG is 7 months too and won't respond to her name either 🤷♀️ but I have read that most babies get there by 9 months, so I am postponing my worries until then 🙆♀️

Thank you girls kind of out my mind at ease the now xxx

May sound crazy but try whispering their name.
My little Dottie will completely ignore her name unless I wisper it.
My eldest did the exact same x

Hi all ! I'm experiencing this now with my seven month old. did they start responding? X

yes half of the time. I'm not worried though. She is doing great in her development, she probably just ignores me 🤣😅
