I was worried about this but apparently it's normal for babies/toddlers to ignore you especially when they are focused on something else x
My daughters the same. Sometimes she answers, sometimes she doesn't. I just go with she's got selective hearing 😅 as it's usually when she's doing something she shouldn't that she doesn't answer her name x
My son is 13 months and he definitely understands his name. If I say where’s JJ he will point to himself. But he’s hit and miss when he wants to respond if I call his name. If his sitting playing with his toys and I say JJ i can repeat myself multiple times and I just get ignored more than half the time as if I didn’t speak. 😂 x
My son doesn’t respond to his name at all. I have flagged it with the health visitor but he is also behind on a few other communication skills x
