Name responding

My Lb turned 1 last week, over the past few days I have noticed he isn’t responding to his name, it takes us a good few times for him to acknowledge (not sure if this is a new thing or). I don’t know whether I’m worrying over nothing. He matains good eye contact, and has hit all his milestones. Could he just be ignoring me or something more? Anyone experienced this and they grow out of it

Do you use different nicknames? My LO is 18 months now and she will sometimes respond to her name but not always, but then my partner and I always give her little nicknames so I just reckon she gets a bit confused by it sometimes

Yeah, we call him baby sausage 😂 or just sausage hahaha! And the family call him dimps🥲 I’m going to stop calling him nicknames and use his full name from now on xxx

Have you had his hearing checked recently

@Nicole no, he responds to other noises though x

Is it all the time, often or just not as much? I used to be the same until I had another hearing test later on and have hearing loss. Could be worth asking your HV for some advice x

No not all the time, just more often than not. I might mention it to the HV and see what she recommends x

Did he used to? My daughter went through a phase of not responding to her name around a year but it came back! The HV said she was exerting her independence 😂 If he does sometimes but not all the time, then it’s probably nothing to worry about, especially if he responds to other sounds x

Yeah, I’m hoping it is a phase😂 he’ll happily respond to his dad first time so maybe he’s choosing not to listen to me😂x
