    At What Age Do Babies Recognize Their Grandparents?

    Six to Nine Months

     

    Video Transcribed: At what age do babies recognize their grandparents? Hi, I’m Tulsa Grandparents Rights Attorney, Justin Mosteller. And I’m here to discuss this topic with you for a little bit today. Now the science is pretty well settled on this subject, that it usually takes about six to nine months for a baby to recognize their grandparents’ face, assuming that that grandparent sees the child about once a week. In the instance where our grandparents see a grandchild every day, then that time period can actually be reduced by quite a lot.

And that obviously happens in cases where a grandparent is filling the role of a daycare provider. In that scenario, then it’s to be expected that the child would bond with and recognize that grandparent much more quickly.

    But generally speaking, when a grandparent sees the grandchild about once a week, then about six to nine months. And that is very important because the statutes for grandparent’s visitation rights include a requirement that there be a preexisting relationship between the grandchild and the grandparents.

    And in cases where visitation is being denied with the grandbaby, that it’s really important to have some science to back you up when you say that there is this existing relationship and it’s in the best interest of the baby for that relationship to continue.

    If you find yourself in a situation where you’re being denied visitation with your grandchild, don’t hesitate to reach out. Even if that child is a baby, we can help. If you have any more questions, feel free to seek counsel from our office to speak with a Tulsa Grandparents Rights Attorney, we’d be happy to help.
