15 week old baby not turning to voice

My 15 week old baby isn’t turning her head towards my voice or any sounds such as, a rattle shook next to her.

She startles from a loud noise (I.e remote dropping on the floor) and she smiles when she hears my voice. But she doesn’t turn her head for any sounds.. I keep reading conflicting data to suggest it is a 2 month old development milestone on one website and 4 month old milestone on another website.

what is the normal and has anyone got any experience to share?

she also was cooing and “chatting back” a week ago but has all of a sudden stopped? She isn’t particularly learning a new skill.. just found her fists to suck continuously.

any help from a very anxious mum!

thank you

When you’re looking at milestones online, I think it’s usually best to stick to the ASQ. Some of the American sites in particular can be full of misinformation.

If you fill in the 4 month Ages & Stages, how does she score?
