8 month old not interactive, no receptive language, no gesture

[Saiaryal24]

Hi Everyone I am FTM. My baby is 8 months old. She had a very bad start she was misdiagnosed with seizure and put on seizure medication for 1 week which later turn out report atrifact and no any seizure was there on actual. Since there is a rough start I am worried about every single thing about her. She is really sweet baby. Its been couple months I am worried about her. Please someone experienced mums out there provide some honest suggestion. Here are list of things that is making me worry:

1. She donot respond to her name( She respond to sound we make, but seems like she dont know it is her name and we are calling her.)
2. She donot interact much( she smiles when we smile but never initiate the conversation or interaction)
3. I feel like she have zero receptive language till date. She donot understand words like mama, baba, ball, Bye, Hi, etc( I am trying to teach her since 6 month)
4. She have never cried for food/milk and we always have to keep an alarm for her. These days feeding her formula is impossible if there is no any distraction.
5. She have no joint attention
6. She donot clap/imitiate action or words
7. Strange but she donot look at facetime videos and cameras( but look on front view)

Some of things she do are:

1. She preety much smile when we smile at her
2. If we hide face saying pikabo she removes the hand from our face

3. Stragner Anxiety and seperation anxiety is emerging

1. She crawls, sits unassisted, stands with support

4 Raise hand if we initiate for pickup 5 Makes a great Eyecontact 6 Babbles various sound although not directed at us

Some Experienced mom please provide some suggestion. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

try not to worry she smiles and she plays peekaboo she’s still very young to speak, does she make any noises ?

play nursery rhymes with her, read books ( the touch and feel ones are good ) and speak to her and have little conversations, she’s only 8months old, you seem like a really caring and loving mama so she’s in the best hands 🙌

I have 2 kids and at 8 months they were pretty much the same as your little girl ☺️
