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
