Part of it was that the daycare teachers all called her a special nickname that we don't use at home. She responded to that name earlier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-recognize-their-own-name#post-1899759 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 19:40:34 +0000 Mae 1899759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 5 mo and she doesn't know her name I don't think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-recognize-their-own-name#post-1899757 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 19:38:50 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1899757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>olive wasn't turning her head at 15 months. not necessarily because she didn't know her name, but because she was just tuning us out. that's when we pursued early intervention.</p> <p>by 1 they should recognize their name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-recognize-their-own-name#post-1899713 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 19:14:29 +0000 raintreebee 1899713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 8.5 month old also doesn't respond to his name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-recognize-their-own-name#post-1899710 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 19:11:56 +0000 catomd00 1899710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 months or so I believe....I know she knows it because any time anyone says it she responds, but I can say other things in a similar tone to her like "excuse me" and she won't turn around, but if I say her name she turns every time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-recognize-their-own-name#post-1899639 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 17:45:29 +0000 Dandelion 1899639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M knows his name.

I really doubt our LO knows her name and she's 8.5 months old.</p> <p>Then again, it's hard for us to tell when she might be responding to her name vs. responding to our voices.</p> <p>When were you pretty sure LO recognized their own name? </p>
