Discover What To Expect From A 7 To 9 Month Old Baby In This Guide To Infant Development

Discover What To Expect From A 7 To 9 Month Old Baby In This Guide To Infant Development


by Rodelyn Pelaiz


Between the ages of 7 and nine months, babies become increasingly aware of the world around them. Most parents will find that they must watch their child very closely by now, as this is the beginning of the "into everything" age. The infant also starts to develop his or her distinct likes and dislikes and unique personality. Learn what to expect from a 7 to 9-month old baby in this helpful guide.

At this age, most babies are starting to enjoy a varied diet of solid foods and are slowly being weaned from the bottle or breast. The baby must get an adequate supply of essential vitamins and minerals for healthy development.

Continually introducing new foods at the rate of about one per week, not only helps encourage the child's chewing skills but also keeps them interested in eating. Infants of this age can begin to show a desire to try feeding themselves and can start to experiment with a spoon and sippy cup. They also normally love to use their fingers with small pieces of table foods which builds eye/hand coordination.

Babies in this stage of development can pick up objects using a pincer grasp, throw them, bang them together, and pass them from one hand to the next. The concept of object permanence becomes apparent as the infant realizes that if a toy is dropped or tossed it is still there. They enjoy playing peek-a-boo and can wave goodbye. Fear of strangers may manifest in some children at this age too.

Babies become much more ambulatory during this time; they can sit without support and start crawling. Many will also pull themselves up to a standing position by grabbing onto furniture, and may even walk a few steps while doing so; this is called "cruising". Parents now need to eliminate any potential hazards in the home with their newly mobile baby.

Playing and reading with the infant becomes more important than ever before. They enjoy when an adult caregiver gets down on the floor and plays blocks or toys with them, reads aloud to them, and teaches them clapping games such as "pattycake". Bouncing games on one's knee or in a bouncer seat are also great fun for babies.

Also at this age, some infants begin to experience "separation anxiety" when their parents leave the room, even just for a few minutes. They may cry to be picked up for fear the parent will not return. Games like peek-a-boo with one's face or even a toy help them see that out of sight doesn't mean gone for good.

The earliest forms of speech start to appear at this age, in the form of "babbling" where the baby begin to speak random syllables. But may be able to say "mama" and "dada," although not always remember who the name refers. They also communicate with non-verbal sounds and pointing to people and objects. Many will understand the word "No", but they will not always obey it.
