my daughter is one year six months old she is responding to all the sounds but sometimes she is not responding when we call her name what is the reason

Question

Accepted Answer

If a baby responds to everything except their name, it's not uncommon! This phenomenon can occur due to various reasons:

1. *Language processing*: Babies might not fully understand the association between their name and their identity.
2. *Auditory development*: Their auditory system might be still developing, making it harder to distinguish between similar sounds.
3. *Attention and focus*: Babies can get distracted or overwhelmed, making it difficult for them to respond to their name.
4. *Naming frequency*: If the baby's name is not frequently used or reinforced, they might not connect it with their identity.

To encourage your baby to respond to their name:

Incorporate their name into daily routines, like during feeding, bath time,: Use a happy, upbeat tone when saying their name, and pair it with positive interactions...Before saying their name, ensure you have their attention with a gentle touch or eye contact.
 Use the same tone and pronunciation when saying their name.
