Nine-month-old baby's development

The step-by-step growth and development of a baby makes us feel magical, especially the parents. They are undoubtedly excited and happy to see their baby open his eyes from birth, and then smile at them. Today, I will bring you the development of a nine-month-old baby. What changes will the baby experience at this time? Let’s take a look.

At nine months old, the baby boy weighs 7.2 to 11.3 kg and is 67.0 to 77.6 cm long; the baby girl weighs 6.6 to 10.5 kg and is 65.0 to 75.9 cm long. At this time, the baby will have 2 to 4 teeth.

When standing with support, the back, hips and legs can be straightened; the child can stand for a while with support; can stand up from a sitting position by holding onto a railing; can stand with support and take sideways steps with both feet. It is also possible to actively move from a sitting position to a lying position, rather than passively falling down.

The thumb and index finger can pick up small objects. At this time, the child will show a very important action, which is to extend the index finger. He likes to use the index finger to pick things, such as the table top or the wall. The emergence of these actions is not accidental. They are the abilities that children demonstrate when their psychological development reaches a certain stage. They indicate that the children have made some exploratory movements.

Now that he understands more languages, your communications take on new meaning. Before he can say many words, or any words at all, he may understand more words than you think. At this time, he may be able to answer questions in simple language; he can make 3 to 4 actions to express language; he has different reactions to different sounds, and he can temporarily stop the activities in his hands when he hears the sound of "no" or "don't move". He knows his own name, stops the activities when he hears his mother say his name, and can imitate sounds continuously. When hearing familiar sounds, he can hum along and say a word and express it with actions, such as waving his hands to say "no" and pointing at things when saying "this, that".

At this time, the baby may have learned to rock rhythmically to the music and be able to recognize the five senses. Can recognize objects in pictures; for example, can pick out a few familiar pictures from a large group of pictures. Consciously imitate some actions, such as: drinking water, stirring the water with a spoon, etc. Maybe he already knows that adults are talking about him, knows how to be shy, and can cooperate with the adults in getting dressed. They will play games with adults. For example, if the adults hide their faces behind paper and then show their faces to the children, the children will be happy and actively participate in the game, waiting for the adults to show up again at the place where the adults last appeared.

The above is what I have brought to you about the development of nine-month-old babies. Do you feel excited and happy just by imagining that picture? If the growth and development of your nine-month-old baby is very different from what is described above, I recommend that you take your baby to a regular hospital to check the baby's development.
