Your concerns can a hint towards underlying behaviour disorder like autism. For proper diagnosis and treatment it requires an evaluation by a pediatric neurologist and a developmental pediatrician. Kindly get a complete evaluation by an expert to identify Early and intervene

Hello, I understand your concern At 15 months, children typically begin to say a few meaningful words (like “mama,” “dada”), respond to their name most of the time, make eye contact, and show interest in others. It’s encouraging that your child is playful, active, and laughs during interactions like “peekaboo.” However, some red flags you’re noticing — like inconsistent response to name, limited eye contact, and lack of clear meaningful words — are worth monitoring more closely. While some children may be late talkers, it’s important to rule out other causes such as speech delay or early signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These signs do not confirm a diagnosis but do indicate the need for evaluation.

A basic evaluation is to check for visiual acuity and hearing. It’s good that you are aware of the inconsistency in your daughter’s responses Eye contact is important - autism screening can be done between 18 months - 24 months and later Till then keep stimulating the baby and at least get a basic vision and auditory testing done How can you help? - - show her picture and one word book. Name the object. If she tries to speak out a word, encourage her to form it, complete for her. Ask her to identify a named object - you can do similar naming of objects when playing around, tell her names of people around, ask her who are they….. so on - no screen time please - be interactive with the child, keep communication on

Hi. I understand your concern. By 15 months of age, a kid must be speaking some meaningful bisyllables at least. Lack of proper contact could be worrisome. You need to get your child evaluated by a pediatrician for autism spectrum disorder.
