Hello,
From what you have described, it is reassuring that her motor milestones are appropriate for her age.
Coming to her social and language milestones, babies usually start babbling (sounds like “ma”, “da”, “ba”) around 6 months. They also begin showing interest in looking at themselves in the mirror, imitating sounds such as coughing, smiling at their reflection .A variation of 1–2 months can still be within the normal range.
Regarding recognising you as her mother, bottle feeding alone does not prevent attachment or recognition. Babies recognise their primary caregivers through their voice, face, smell, and repeated interactions. Also, separation anxiety usually develops around this age..
Continue spending quality face-to-face time with her. Talk, sing, read picture books, imitate her sounds, and play interactive games like peek a boo.
You can discuss your concerns with your paediatrician at her next vaccination visit so they can assess her developmental milestones in detail.
