Why did my baby stop responding to her name?

Published in Child Development 1 min read

Your baby's lack of response to her name could stem from a few potential reasons. According to research, possible explanations include difficulties with social interactions or a receptive language delay.

Possible Reasons for Lack of Response

Here's a breakdown of potential causes:

  • Difficulties with Social Interaction: A lack of response to one's name is sometimes observed in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
  • Receptive Language Delay: Your baby might not yet understand that she needs to respond when her name is called. She may not have fully grasped the connection between her name and herself.

It's important to remember that there is a range of normal development, and a lack of response doesn't automatically indicate a problem. However, continued lack of response warrants further investigation by a healthcare professional.
