9 Month Visit: Increasing Independence
RECAP:
Separation Anxiety
Give your baby a calm, brief, and upbeat goodbye. Any distress they may experience usually won't last long.
​
Eating
Allow your baby to start to feed themselves and help them start drinking from a cup. This helps them build important motor skills.
​
Sharing Feelings
Labeling your own emotions helps your child learn how other people think and feel.
​
Safety: Babyproofing
Your active baby can reach new things. Make sure hazardous objects and poisonous substances are locked up and secure.
If you have any questions about what you've seen here today, ask your provider at your next visit, or contact the Mount Sinai Parenting Center at parentingcenter@mountsinai.org.
