1 year old not responding to name

Hi Moms,

Any of you have a 1 year old that doesn’t respond to name all the time. Mine gets dijstracted. And responds when he wants 🥺. I’m nervous. Inknow that is a sign of autism, but idk if it’s too early to think this.

Please let me know moms ❤️🙏🏼

My girl doesn’t respond every time I call her name either.. if she’s distracted by something then it usually takes a couple times to say her name

My son won't respond either it's hard to get his attention but he has bilateral cleft lip and palate so he is non verbal but getting his attention is impossible almost he only pays attention if it's convenient for him and he only answers to his nickname Tata and that's occasional as well but I wouldn't worry till he's two or three they don't normally test one years old for that yet I don't think my one year is the same way but they might be taken in things yk

yeah. Inhave to repeat. But sometimes just won’t. But when he wants my attention he comes to me. I get so nervous. Because by 1. I guess they should be responding already 🥺

If he responds when he isn’t super focused on what he’s doing, you’re fine! All of us have moments when we’re too busy to notice someone calling us. My little will turn her head immediately when her daddy is saying her name, but takes her sweet time/doesn’t always respond for me. But she’s a daddy’s girl, so I’m not surprised lol

My son just turned a year last month and I mentioned theses concerns to his primary. (Doesn’t respond to his name, spaces out) he’s been evaluated and put into the Babies Can’t Wait program.
If you feel like something is wrong with your baby follow your gut and see their doctor.

hmmm. Never heard of that program. Birth to 3 did evaluate him. So he will be having a speech therapist. Since he also doesn’t babble a lot 🥺. So we are hoping that helps

My 13 month old only responds to her name when she wants to. She gets very easily distracted and there is so much for her to do and see. I think listening to what mommy wants isn't a thought for her yet. Lol

Same 😂😂. I just freak out. Because they say if they don’t respond. Then that could be an issue. I’m like but they respond when they want lol. Ugh. I just wish I New everything was okay 🥺

Mine is the same way he only responds if he's not distracted

My baby either. But maybe because I call her 3 different names. I call her by her name, butter, and booty butter lol. So if she doesn’t respond to one, I say the other two 😂. But sometimes she fake not listening to me

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x
