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.
