My 11 months old development

Hi, my lg is 11 months old, 1 at the end of this month.
She used to babble until she was around 4.5/5 months old then stopped. She's started blowing raspberries the past couple of months and rarely does a little squeal when she gets excited. She'll rarely say 'ba' at the end of blowing a raspberry.
When she's crying sometimes she'll go 'Mama' but I think it's just the way she cries and the movements her mouth makes.
She never looks at herself in the mirror she hates it, but will look at herself through my phone camera and appears to enjoy this.
She doesn't mimic you at all. She makes good eye contact and looks when you say her name.
She also doesn't understand simply commands such as 'come here' or 'get your bottle' etc etc.
She waved for a few days and now hasn't done it for a while. She was trying to clap for a while and doesn't seem to do that now either.
She plays with her toys, examines them, loves playing with 'spinny' things on toys. She doesn't yet know how to stack things, press buttons, hit objects together etc.
Now physically, she's been crawling for months and she now walks extremely well unaided.
I'm so worried. Has anyone else's baby been like this and been okay? I'm so scared there's something underlying. I got an ASQ survey off my health visitor and she doesn't meet any of the communication ones and little of the other ones apart from her mobility etc.
Please say someone else has been through this and their baby has been okay, I'm non stop worrying it's draining😭.
I've been told from about 6 months every time I've brought this up to wait until she's 10 months and then got told 12 months. She's less than a month away from being 1 so as you can imagine I'm panicking😢

The communication abs understanding could easily be hearing. I would ask for a referral for a hearing test. Then when she is 12 months, if she's still not meeting her ASQ, I'd insist on a referral to a Paediatrician so that she can be assessed properly.

If your HV isn't listening, try your GP Thanks

Hi, she's 100% not deaf, she turns her head even to the tiniest of whispers and the health visitor said she wasn't worried about her hearing when she came

It's just a standard test that she'll need doing though. If she does have any kind of speech delay, a SLT will want her to have had a hearing test. Believe me, we've been there twice Smile
