When should i worry about my baby not responding to his name?

When they enter the world, your infant has no idea what a great job you did naming them. In fact, they will likely hear their own name repeated hundreds of times in their first month of life, all before they figure out the word is even related to them, much less how great it is.

So, it makes sense for a parent seeking the recognition they so rightly deserve to want to know: When do babies recognize their name?

It doesn’t take long for infants to begin responding to the world around them. They will turn towards their mother or father’s voice almost from the outset and will smile at smiling faces.

And that sometimes leads to assumptions that a baby know their name.

Parents may think their baby is responding to their name as early as 4 months, but that’s probably not the case. They’re more likely giving attention to a familiar and comforting presence.
