Responding to name

[Flossie69]

When is a baby meant to start responding to her name?
My DD is almost 8 months, and I am not concerned about her hearing, but she still doesn't respond when I say her name. Is this normal?

TIA

I can't actually remember when either of my DC begun to respond to their names , but I think it was quite a bit older than 8 months. Possibly 10 or 11 months or maybe even older.

I don't think you need to worry about it yet.

bump - surely someone can be more helpful than me?

I've just looked this up and its meant to be when they're about 12 months old .

I don't remember exactly when it was for DD, but I'm sure it was much later than 8 months. Later than 12 months as well I think.

So not something to worry about IME.

Mine loks round now, but not sure if it is just tone of voice, rather than her actually responding to her name, iyswim.

She is 7 months old.

My Ds started to around 7/8 months IIRC. I don't think it's a 'developmental milestone' though - there's a wide range of variation.
