Physical development of nine-month-old baby
When babies are nine months old, they hit many milestones in their physical development. For example, most babies are able to sit up and hold themselves firmly on their own, they also start to crawl and some babies start to try to stand and walk. In addition, the baby will have many other signs of development.
1. Most nine-month-old babies are able to sit up on their own, but the duration of sitting up will vary based on the baby\’s development level. After sitting alone, they can freely reach out and touch things around them, which also prepares them for grabbing smaller items later.
2. At nine months old, the baby has gradually mastered the skill of crawling, and can find the joy of exploration by putting his hands and feet on the ground.
3. Babies\’ hand-eye coordination also continues to strengthen, and they begin to like toys more, grabbing them and putting them in their mouths. In addition, the desire to touch and explore finger foods such as biscuits, bread, fruits, etc. has become stronger.
Language development of nine-month-old babies
In addition to physical development, nine-month-old babies also undergo a lot of language development.
1. Babies’ innate language ability allows them to begin to understand and become familiar with different sounds and rhythms. They can also gradually understand and classify simple words such as \”no\”, \”come\” and \”go\”.
Second, the baby may begin to understand certain actions that can be used for self-expression. They gradually realize that they can produce speech and call attention.
3. The concepts and requirements of speaking can be taught to them. Some parents and caregivers will be good at using ways to describe adult speech to communicate with babies, gradually stimulating the baby\’s language expression ability.
Social development of nine-month-old babies
1. Babies now pay attention to the mutual influence and interaction between themselves and the people around them. They begin to learn and understand social responsibilities and rules. They begin to understand people\’s facial expressions and gestures, and the corresponding emotions.
2. The baby gradually develops a sense of self-initiative, begins to show his own likes and dislikes, and can see the reactions of others. Some babies start making movements like first car rides, hugs, etc.
3. Babies begin to understand their parents, nannies and other caregivers, and they begin to realize whether the relationships and interactions between themselves and the people around them require attention.
Cognitive development of nine-month-old babies
Nine-month-old babies are also gradually developing cognitively.
1. The baby can now deduce the overall structure of the items through the relative positions between the two items.
2. Different from the previous situation where it was only applicable to self-protection, now babies learn their own mistakes and they begin to establish self-awareness and the connection between body and mind.
3. Babies can realize that different parts of their bodies are different, and begin to match their hands, feet, belly and other parts one by one. As your baby grows and develops, this awareness will continue to increase.
Summary: A nine-month-old baby’s physical, language, social and cognitive abilities are gradually developing. You can help by interacting with your baby.They develop and grow better. I hope this article has provided some help to parents in assessing the development and health care of their babies.
