When does your LO respond to his/her name? Mine is almost 8 months but doesn't seem to respond much when I call his name. Should I be concerned?

hi mom, by 8 months of age your baby should be able to respond to his name. by his name i mean the name you use to address him by, which could also be a pet name. i think you should speak to your baby's doctor and get a hearing assessment done. do not worry, as it could also be a case of your baby taking a little extra time than other babies to reach that particular milestone. however, do show the doc just to make sure everything is as it should be.
