Hi guys.

I have a 9 month old son who I am developing concerns about. He doesn't respond to his name and he doesn't make eye contact often, although he does put his hands out to be picked up, he laughs and is somewhat social. He doesn't respond to his name either, am I being too worried, or can anyone provide some advice to a worried parent?

Thanks

    Hi there 

    If you have any concerns discuss with your health visitor or gp 

    Unfortunately we are unable to give any medical advice 

    Also bear in mind all babies are different and develop at different rates and different ways
